This course is designed to enhance the different English language competencies of graduates. Most of the existing English Degree programs offered for the Bachelor of Arts Degrees have not been specifically designed to produce teachers of English since those programs have their own unique objectives. Consequently, ELT-related course units are not prioritized in such curricula. However, the syllabi for ESL include practical as well as theoretical units. Hence, it will create skillful graduates who can cater to the requirements in the field in addition to the teaching of English.
