The 英语系 at Bowling Green State University is dedicated to providing 学生 with a comprehensive education in literacy—that is, reading and writing in all forms—and to promoting research and creative activities by faculty and 学生 that generate valuable creative products and contributions to knowledge and serve as catalysts for innovative teaching. The Department strives to familiarize 学生 with a full range of literacies—written, 数字, 口服, and visual—so that they may become active and well-equipped citizens.

Along with the traditional role of providing education in literary studies, the Department also emphasizes cultural understanding and skills in textual analysis, 批判性思维, and the effective use of language in academic, 公民, and workplace contexts, areas of emphasis that are fundamental both to the maintenance of an active democracy and to success in any career. Our six programs (创意写作, 英语 as a Second Language, 语言学, 文学, 修辞 and Writing 博天堂官方网站, and Scientific and Technical 沟通) teach these skills to our undergraduate majors, 我们的硕士和博士.D. 学生, and hundreds of other 学生 across the University, including international 学生 and future middle- and high-school teachers of language arts.

The 英语系 is dedicated as well to promoting in 学生 and society at large an enhanced knowledge of the benefits of diversity and inclusion, and to instilling an increased appreciation for the crucial role of the arts and humanities in promoting a healthy, 人道的, 和平的世界.
