Department of English

The Department of English in the Faculty of languages is not just another department of English in Sana’a University. It is different from the departments of English in the faculties of Arts and Education. The focus of attention in the Department of English, Faculty of Arts, is on the literature written in English language and that in the Department of English, Faculty of Education is on producing teachers of English, whereas the focus of attention in Department of English, Faculty of languages, is on a critical study of the various aspects of English and its use as a language in day-to-day communicative activities. This Department will produce graduates who would not only be efficient teachers of English but also competent translators and executives in government offices, private companies, business concerns, diplomatic services, banks, travel agencies, tourism departments and in such other places where the use of English is almost obligatory. The Department, thus, has a unique personality.
