About The Department of English
English language has earned the title of ubiquitous language around the world. The intensity with which it continues to gain ground in previously unknown geographical regions is the reason why the learning and teaching of English have acquired a significant status in the academic domain. The English language department at St. Mary’s Centenary Degree College, Secunderabad is constantly striving to build the most important English language competencies among their students with a focus on LSRW skills. The numerous activities organized by the department help students learn and use functional English language in every-day situations. Preparing the students for public speaking, writing and reading activities has remained a major focus for the department as these skills help students progress in both their personal and professional life.
