Mission and Vision

Mission and vision of the Department of English of Trust University Barisal is to promote Bangladeshi young learners as skilled manpower to overcome the 21st century challenges prevailing in the socio-economic condition across the globe specially by using foreign and international languages like English. The department will work constantly to create an opportunity to use English language as a tool in promoting the learners’ socio-cultural life. The department will provide the students with an environment so that they feel encouraged to make a habit of using English in their everyday, academic as well as in their professional life. The primary goal of the department is to disperse the phobia that Bangladeshi learners nurture deep at their heart against English. Though English is a foreign language in our country learning English is of a massive importance. Ignoring English, an international language, we cannot go much ahead. Therefore, keeping all these factors in mind the Department of English of Trust University Barisalhas designed a unique syllabus/curriculum in combination of language, literature and linguistics. The mission of English department is to develop learners’ overall competence in English in all branches. The learners not only will achieve competence in English grammatical but also will master four skills-reading, writing, listening and speaking in English with equal propensity. The ultimate goal of the department is to groom our learners with necessary equipment so that they may have a good command in English and prepare them as global citizens. The initiative will pave the way to conquer the world breaking the barrier of language and culture. Its ultimate mission and vision is to produce enlightened individuals and to build up a knowledge based society for the next generation.

Philosophy and Objectives
 

Philosophy: The University has been established to respond to the needs of the society for sustainable socio- economic development. In recent times there has been a growing demand for quality English teachers and professionals with adequate knowledge of English. But it had been found that although employers put great emphasis on English language competency in their employees, this continues to remain a weak area. Consequently, graduates who aim to be teachers of English or professionals need to upgrade their knowledge of English language and literature and be competent enough to use English as a Second Language (ESL) and as a Foreign Language (EFL). We, in the TU, believe that both language and literature should be equally emphasized in this program so that each can reinforce the other in the acquisition of knowledge and skills in English for teaching, business and other purposes.
