INSIDE LOOK DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, HERAMBA CHANDRA COLLEGE

Dept. of English, Heramba Chandra College always believes in the joyful teaching-learning process. Therefore, the Dept. as usual tries to engage the students in various student-centric activities along with the academic exertion even in the midst of pandemic. Here is a list of departmental activities for the session 2021-22.

The eminent literary and theatrical personalities such as Dr. Ananda Lal, Debashis Deb, Dr. Siddharta Biswas, Debesh Roy Chowdhury, Sam Mukherjee and many more have visited the department. This year (2021) the renowned teacher of St. Xavier's College, Prof. Argha Kumar Banerjee has met the students online and delivered a talk on "Et in Arcadia Ago".

Celebration of the teachers' day (2021). The student-teacher relationship of the department is so strong that the students did organize a fascinating teachers day to be experienced online. Here, the students with their live performance and interaction with teachers shared their feelings about art and culture.

Lecture method is not a sole method of teaching for the department. Our teachers encourage students indirectly to learn literature in different way. We motivate the students to express their understanding of the subject matter. We encourage them to participate in the extempore, storytelling, debate and writing competition organized by the dept. for the intra-departmental students. (January, 2022).

Story telling has a very interesting fact in itself. Storytelling brings language learning alive and creates a participatory and immersive experience that allows Young Learners to enjoy hearing the language in a dynamic, sometimes stylistic and entertaining way. Participation using key vocabulary and phrases can create an awareness of rhythm and structure. To keep that in mind dept. organized a story telling event on dept. students in 2022 during students' week.

This enthusiastic department tries to organizes at least a few special lecture each year. In the year 2021even though covid-19 knocked our door, we conducted a special lecture online onThe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock as a Modernist Poem. Here we got our guest Prof. Dibyajit Mukherjee of Prabhat Kumar College, Contai as the speaker. This was a fresh experience for us to conduct a special session online (25 November 2021)

Another special lecture organized by the department on a very interesting and sublime topic. Here we got the respected Prof. Debanjali Roy KIIT Deemed University as our guest speaker. She delivered a lecture on "Modern, Modernity and Modernism". The students and the teachers of the department enjoyed the session thoroughly. (2 December 2021)

This is most stunning for the dept. students as they themselves organized freshers' 2022 for sem-2 and sem-4 students during offline college immediately after pandemic. Here, sem-6 batch invited all the departmental teachers and our beloved principal ma'am.

Departmental also conducted a parent-teacher meet in the first week of January. This was organized to let the parents know the way their kids are progressing. This was also done to get information from the parents about the pupils to whom the teachers are guiding. (January 2022)

Happy faces and sad departure! The farewell of the most beautiful batch of the department. Getting identity from pupils to alumni. "Our sem-6".
