We encourage an open and caring relationship among students themselves and among lecturers and students alike. At the end of their training, the department’s students must be of the highest caliber – rounded in content and methodology and equipped with life skills. We believe they must demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of language as a tool of empowerment – in self and others, recognize the value of education and the critical role its stakeholders play. Ultimately, they should conform to the highest ethical and professional code of conduct.

​

In addition, the members of this Department share a collegiate intellectual and social relationship and have won departmental and individual awards.  We share best practices, have professional discussions, regular professional development seminars/workshops in a bid to ensure that we remain on the cutting edge of our practice – all in a bid to give our best to those we serve – our students and the community. We believe very strongly in community participation and service and as such we have, and continue to, initiate and participate in several community related projects.
