Introduction
The Department of English Language and Literature at Incheon National University fosters digital convergence talents equipped with creative and innovative thinking and international communication skills through the study of English. Leveraging the status and geographical characteristics of the Department as a national corporate university based in Songdo International City, we promote exchanges with various international organizations, institutions, and companies, and create opportunities for field learning to help students realize their dreams. Underlying this educational approach is another educational goal of our department: to cultivate "happiness personnel" who contribute to the happiness of their neighbors and the world by utilizing their professional skills.
Authorized to be established in 1979, the Dept. of English Language & Literature at Incheon National University features an outstanding faculty from diverse fields who are dedicated to the future of our students in areas such as English literature, linguistics, and English education. Furthermore, alongside strengthening basic English proficiency, the department encourages each student to develop their own unique strengths and abilities. This is because such capabilities serve as a crucial link for entering the workforce after graduation.
