SCHOOL
OF LANGUAGES
Language is the most powerful means of
communication, a potent instrument of artistic expression,
literary creativity and a significant medium for the expression
and conservation of culture. Language, therefore, is all
pervasive, indispensable aspect of mankind. Ostensibly, there
exists an intrinsic form of relationship between language and
literature and this symbiotic co-relation is
inter-complementary. Literature represents a language or a
people: culture and tradition and introduces us to new worlds of
experience as we evolve our own literary journey with books. In
essence, literature is a reflection of life.
Based on this premise, School of Languages was set up in
December 2005 for teaching and research in major Languages and
Literatures of the world particularly the major modern European
& Sino-Tibetan Languages like English, Chinese, French, German,
Russian, Spanish and British, American & Commonwealth
literatures.
English as a language is a huge reservoir into which words,
metaphors and expressions from all over the world keep on
flowing. The process has been going on since Anglo-Saxon Period
(650 A.D) and right till now. Therefore, as an obligatory duty
School of Languages has been focusing on English Language
teaching since its inception. However, foreign languages like
Chinese, French, German Russian & Spanish have cumulatively
formed and continue to form a kind of language bastion. School
of Languages plans to add the teaching of these foreign
languages in a phased manner. The process began with an
Intensive Certificate course in French which the school has been
offering twice in a year i.e. January & June since January 2007.
