Report On The Possibility of Opening A Short Course in English
Introduction
In a meeting of the department of English held on 20 May 2014, the view was
expressed that our students have a very poor command in English, both spoken and
written. So it was proposed that a short course in English should be opened under
the management of the English teachers.
Discussion
We realized the need for such a course for good reasons. From the answer scripts
of the students of different departments, we found that the standard of English of
about 80% of them is far below the average. We interviewed many students of our
university, of some other universities, and even some outsiders, and found that
they deplorably lacked correctness in writing and fluency in speaking English. We
also talked with them about opening a short course in English in order to help them
with the basics of written and spoken English. They all highly appreciated the idea
and opined that such a course would be of much help for them.
The students need to use correct English in their answers of the exam questions in
different courses and subjects. If they are given some knowledge about the basics
of spoken and written English, they can go a long way towards their improvement.
Conclusion
So we think that Short Courses in English will be a quite popular programme. It will
help students, non-students, and professionals.
Recommendations
We would recommend that such a course should be opened in the Department of
English, and the university should look into the financial aspects of the programme
as early as possible.
