English Language Dept. |
Department of English was founded in 2011 to have more graduates in the field of English language especially after the fast developments in Kurdistan Region. Since then it has witnessed dramatic changes as regards the academic staff, the number of students, the subjects taught, and the facilities offered. It has the morning and evening studies. The period of time required for the study is four years, after which the graduate is awarded bachelors certificate in English language.
The English Department at Cihan University/Sulaimaniya helps students build knowledge of the content and methods of English linguistic and literary studies. Our graduates are well prepared for professional and graduate study and for lifelong learning. They pursue careers in education, research, business, law, government, and publishing in both Kurdistan Region and Iraq. The Department’s policies and its reading and writing intensive curriculum demonstrate our commitment to these goals.
The department seeks to achieve the following:
- To provide appropriate pedagogies – including class size – and environments (classrooms, equipment, resources, and technology) that will lead our student’s attention and success as well as an increase in the number of majors and minors.
- To help students see themselves as professionals, as part of a discipline with skills and abilities valuable in the business, teaching, publishing, or post-graduate work.
- To assure that students encounter creativity crucial to English studies through readings by professional writers and their own creative and critical production and presentation.
- To balance the needs of general education – communication, diversity, global perspectives, interdisciplinary studies – with those of the major.
- To value College scholarship and service through greater support for and participation in activities of the profession.
