45 – 49 2
D
40 – 44 1
E

computed by multiplying the number of credit units for the course by the grade
point equivalent of the grade he/she obtained in that course.
x. At the end of each semester when the grades for all courses have been
computed, each student’s cumulative grade point average is calculated by

cumulative grade point average of 1.0 at the end of each session. A student who
fails to do so will be placed on academic probation. If at the end of the

be advised to withdraw from the programme for which he is registered without prejudice to
being admitted into another programme in the University.

2.3.1 BACHELOR OF ARTS (EDUCATION) ENGLISH
PHILOSOPHY
Modern man can hardly contemplate communal life without the instruments of language. For
the Teacher, his credibility is almost entirely anchored on his competence in communicating
ideas and stimulating learning through his use of language. Articulate and well-spoken
teachers almost invariably win the hearts and respect of their students and people of all walks
of life.
There is the need to blend the effective manipulation of language with the literary on critical
senses. The impact will be more if the written is integrated with the oral literary forms. These
will no doubt make for a better appreciation of man in the world.

1. To help students to develop the four language skills, listening, speaking, reading and
writing.

4. To equip graduates with relevant academic background to pursue graduate studies in
Education.
5. To produce graduates who can fit into the administrative cadre in public and private
organizations.
6. To enable students to develop interest and acquire skills to appreciate literary works,
whether written or oral.
