English Language and Literature

Hello, my name is Sinan. I'm a fourth-year student in the Department of English Language and Literature. The main objective of our department is to increase the cultural capital and expand the international awareness by providing students with extensive knowledge of western cultures, especially of British culture. All courses are taught in English in our department. As an example, we have courses specially prepared for the department such as English Novel, British Theatre, English Poetry and Prose, as well as courses such as Reading and Writing Skills, Translation and Cultural Studies, which are given to increase personal abilities. In addition to our central library, which we use when doing research, we also have a seminar room specially prepared for our master's studies. We can complete our 4-year undergraduate education after completing the amount of credit requested from us. Students who graduate from our department can work in sectors such as banking sector, tourism sector or in various public and private institutions and organizations such as translation offices and ministries. They can also work as lecturers in universities by completing their academic studies. As a result of my interest in foreign languages from an early age, I started to read various works of authors working in English literature with various researches I did in high school. As a result, I discovered that one of the best ways to learn about people and societies is through poetry. This is the biggest reason why I preferred my department. I chose this university because Inonu University is one of the most established universities in Turkey. Also it offers a wide range of study and research areas. After graduation, I aim to continue my research on the fields of interest by completing my master's and doctoral studies. Students who will prefer our department are expected to have a good language skills. In addition, it will be very useful for them to study various studies, poems or novels in the field of English literature in high school, starting from simple levels, in order to get used to the education they will receive in the department. In addition, our university has many physical and mental activities to support the social lives of its students. We welcome students who want to improve themselves in Western culture, literature and western languages to the Department of English Language and Literature at Inonu University Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. We look forward to sharing this privilege.
