2. INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE (Short Stories) Course Code: 108Credit Hrs: 3
Aims & Objectives:
The aim of this part of the curriculum is to introduce the students a popular genre of fiction.
As a genre, short story has received relatively little critical attention, and the most valuable
studies of the form that exist are often limited by region or era (e.g., Ray B. Wests The
Short Story in America 1900-50). One recent attempt to account for the genre has been
offered by the Irish short story writer Frank OConnor, who suggests that stories are a means
for submerged population groups to address a dominating community. Most other
theoretical discussions, however, are predicated in one way or another on Edgar Allan Poes
thesis that stories must have a compact, unified effect. However, the following list comprises
stories written by distinguished writers from all over the globe.
Course Contents
1. Edgar Allen Poe The Man of The Crowd

2. Anton Chekov The Man Who Lived in a Shell

3 INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION Course Code: 215 Credit Hrs: 3
Aims & Objectives:
In todays global world, it is necessary to communicate successfully across cultural

boundaries of languages, styles and values. The aim of this course is to provide an overview
of the major issues in the area of Intercultural Communication. In attempting to address such
questions, we will hope to draw upon the variety of students cultural backgrounds as a basis
for discussion and contrastive analysis. There will be some scope for negotiating content in
response to students interests, but some of the topics we might explore include: culture:
definitions and dimensions; stereotyping the other (and the self?); culture and
communication; identity and cultures within cultures; intercultural mediation; and
language(s), discourse(s) and globalization(s). In addition, the course will explore the
interaction between discourse and culture. Various definitions of culture are outlined in
relation to other theoretical concepts (e.g. ideology), and the students be introduced to models
of analysis for spoken and written discourse. These models are applied to sample texts, with a
view to examining issues and problems of communication within and across cultural
boundaries. You will be encouraged to explore the relevance of approaches to discourse and
culture to professional contexts.
The specific course objectives are as follows:
i. To explore cultural self-awareness, other culture awareness, and the dynamics that
arise in interactions between the two.
ii. To understand how communication processes differ among cultures.
iii. To identify challenges that arise from these differences in intercultural interactions
and learn ways to creatively address them.

communication.

6. MORPHOLOGY & SYNTAX Course Code: 224Credit Hrs: 3
Aims & Objectives:
The course is intended to provide an introduction to the principal theoretical questions in morphology,
concentrating on two main approaches, the morphemic approach and the realizational approach.
The course is of present-day English grammar and usage. The study incorporates traditional,
structural, Chomskyan, and functional language theories for a sound pedagogical grammar that
emphasizes analytical thinking. This will help students to understand the grammatical concepts which
link form/structure and function to meaning within various communicative contexts, to analyze
grammatical structures in spoken and written varieties of English and to use specified grammatical
elements (morphemes, phrases, clauses) to compose and communicate a variety of sentence styles and
patterns. The course uses written and oral texts to facilitate an understanding of form, function, and
meaning of English structures within discourse contexts. The study encourages learning the
grammatical concepts and terminology for words, phrases, clauses, and sentences.

1. DRAMA-II: SHAKESPEARE Course Code: Eng-325Credit Hrs: 3
Aims & Objectives:
This course aims at introducing Shakespearean drama. Any two of his most celebrated four
tragedies, one pure romantic comedy, and a drama of his mature age is an adequately fair
selection of Shakespeares works. His history plays are not generally anthologized except for
the Henry plays wherein the great Sir John Faistaff appears. His poems ought to have a
separate Course. A comedy or any drama for that matter, may be replaced by another one
keeping its suitability and the scope of the Course in view. Shakespeare, of course, is such a
comprehensive artist who compels readers to read all of his works and resists selections. But
such voluminous poet and dramatist would demand four to five courses for extensive reading
which cannot be part of our M.A English program. Hence the given list of plays is considered
as proper selection for this course.

2. LITERARY CRITICISM-I Course Code: Eng-326Credit Hrs: 3
Aims & Objectives:
The course traces the history of literary criticism in English literature from the Greek critics
and theorists to the time of Renaissance. The study of Aristotle and Longinus who came to
second life in the 16th century England helps us see that the roots of critical thought in
English literature lie in the ancient Greeks. The views of the English critics from Sidney to
Dr. Johnson provide landmarks in the development of critical ideas about art and literature.
This course particularly aims at equipping the students with the tools of criticism and
providing them skills to critically evaluate the works of art as mature critics.

varieties of English. The course will familiarize the students with descriptive techniques, theoretical
concepts, and styles of argumentation associated with minimalist syntax; provide them with sufficient
grounding in minimalist syntax to enable them to cope better with other courses (e.g. in Acquisition,

SHAKESPEARE Course Code: ENG-324
Credit Hrs: 03
Aims & Objectives
Any two of his most celebrated four tragedies, one pure romantic comedy, and a drama of his
mature age is an adequately fair selection of Shakespeares works. His history plays are not
generally anthologized except for the Henry plays wherein the great Sir John Faistaff appears.
His poems ought to have a separate Course. A comedy or any drama for that matter may be
replaced by another one keeping its suitability and the scope of the Course in view.
Shakespeare, of course, is such a comprehensive artist who compels readers to read all of his
works and resists selections. But such voluminous poet and dramatist would demand four to
five courses for extensive reading which cannot be part of our M.A English program. Hence
the given list of plays is considered as proper selection for this course.
