The Department of English at the University Junior College delivers over three hundred fifty hours of lectures, seminars, tutorials and personal contact time per week to about two thousand three hundred students studying English at Advanced and Intermediate level. The different study programmes are managed by twenty members of staff specialising in both Language and Literature and with varied teaching histories. The staff brings to the Department experiences of teaching English abroad; at Secondary and Tertiary level and in ESL, EFL and ESP contexts. The specific academic interests within the fields of Language and Literature of the staff are varied. In fact, there are members of staff who are working on their PhD in several areas related to English language and literature. We believe the academic and pedagogical strengths of the members of staff serve as a valid platform to the constant honing of the teaching/learning practices in the Department in an effort to offer our students a better learning environment.
