Course Description
This course is taught in the second year for students from different streams, namely BA, BSc
and BCom. If the first year syllabus is an attempt by the Department of English, Christ
University to recognize and bring together the polyphonic Indian voices in English and Indian
regional literatures in translation for the Additional English students of the first year, the
second year syllabus intends to take that project a little further and open up the engagement
of the students to texts from across the world. The syllabus - selection of texts will
concentrate on readings from South Asian, Latin American, Australian, Canadian, and Afro-
American. It will voice subaltern concerns of identity, gender, race, ethnicity and problems of
belongingness experienced by humanity all over the globe.
The syllabus will extend the concerns of nation and nationality and marginalization,
discussed within the Indian context to a more inclusive and wider global platform. We have
consciously kept out ‘mainstream’ writers and concentrated on the voices of the subalterns
from across the world. There is an implicit recognition in this project that though the aspects
of marginalization and the problems facing subalterns are present across cultures and
nations, the experiences, expressions and reflections are specific to each race and culture.
The course will address these nuances and specificities and enable our students to become
more aware and sensitive to life and reality around them. This will equip the students, who
are global citizens, to understand not just the Indian scenario, but also situate themselves
within the wider global contexts and understand the spaces they will move into and negotiate
in their future.
There is a prescribed text book Blends: Voices from Margins for the second year students,
compiled by the Department of English, Christ University and intended for private circulation. Course Objectives
The course objectives are
to enable students to look at different cultures through Literature
to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and identity politics
to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines
to improve language skills –speaking, reading, writing and listening
to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking
to equip students with critical reading and thinking habits
to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in the previous
year and extend it. |
|
Course Outcome |
|
CO1: it will enable students to understand and analyse the nuances of cultures, ethnicities and other diversity around them and become sensitive towards them. CO2 : They will be able to critique literature from a cultural, ethical, social and political perspectives

Course Description English is offered as a course for all the students in BA, BSc, BCom, and BBA F&A classes in the third and fourth semesters. The aim is to strengthen the communication skills, and particularly study skills of the learners further, through adequate practice and exposure to good examples of writing, thought, ideas and human values. In addition, they will be trained in study skills through tasks in academic genres such as message, letter, essay, data interpretation etc. It aims to not only equip learners with skills but also sensitize them towards issues that concern human life in today’s globalised context. The course content is selected to meet the requirements of the departmental goal of “empowering the individual to read oneself, the social context and the imagined”; institutional goal of ensuring “holistic development”; and the national goal of creating competent and valuable citizens. The primary objective of this course is to help learners develop appropriate employability skills and demonstrate suitable conduct with regards to communication skills. The units are organised in order to help the learners understand the academic and workplace demands and learn by practice.
Course Objectives
· To enable learners to develop reading comprehension for various purposes
· To enable learners to develop writing skills for academic and professional needs
· To enable learners to develop the ability to think critically and express logically
· To enable learner to communicate in a socially and ethically acceptable manner
· To enable learners, to read, write and speak with clarity, precision and accuracy
