About the Department

The Department of English Language consists of one full-time faculty member, one contractual faculty member, and several adjunct instructors holding Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).

The department is responsible for offering the following courses:

  • Pre-University English 1 and 2 (for Iranian students)
  • Introductory English 1, 2, 3, and 4 (for international students)
  • English for General Academic Purposes (for both Iranian and international students across all disciplines at the university)
  • Medical Terminology 1 and 2 for medical students

      In the Pre-University English and Introductory English courses, students learn the meanings and usage of a wide range of essential and basic vocabulary. They are introduced to fundamental English sentence structures and become familiar with techniques for reading and understanding English texts.

      In the English for General Academic Purposes course, students expand their academic and semi-specialized vocabulary and develop various strategies for reading and comprehending academic English texts.

      In the Medical Terminology 1 and 2 courses, medical students are introduced to the etymology of specialized medical terms. They learn the meanings and contextual usage of these terms and develop skills for reading and understanding discipline-specific texts relevant to their field of study.

 

Message form the Head

Given the critical role of English in the academic and research futures of medical students and those in related disciplines, the Department of English Language and Literature is committed to strengthening both the general and specialized English proficiency of students. To achieve this goal, the department employs the latest educational resources, methodologies, and instructional technologies tailored to the needs of today’s learners.

      Beyond its educational mission, the department actively encourages and supports collaborative academic projects and research initiatives involving both faculty members and students. We believe that participation in scholarly research not only enhances language skills but also fosters critical thinking, academic independence, and professional development.

      With a focus on innovation, academic excellence, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the department continues to play a key role in preparing students to engage effectively with global scientific literature and contribute meaningfully to their fields of study.
