The year 1994 was a path-breaking year as far as Sree Sankaracharya University is concerned, as the university which was then a reservoir for various Indian languages decided to conceive something so alien as English while establishing a masters degree for the same. This programme is designed to reflect the knowlegde of theories, concepts, techniques and technologies in the human and cultural aspects of English. The study of English covers a broad spectrum ranging from the conventional study of language and literature to such complex discourses as Cultural Studies, Human Discourse studies, etc. In the globalized context of language studies, language has lost many of its functions. The only function of language largely unaffected by globalization is the communicative function. In this changed scenario, proficiency in communication skills has become an essential qualification for employment. Irrespective of the discipline, mastery in communication enhances employability skills of prospective candidates. Courses have been designed in such a way as to cater to the essential contemporary needs of the students.
