Message of the Head
Department of English Language Teaching (DELT) is committed to keeping to the vision of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura; “prosper lives through learning” by making learning to happen in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). The Department of English Language Teaching caters to a large body of students enrolled in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Applied Sciences, and Faculty of Engineering by providing them with a wide array of learning opportunities that foster listening, speaking, reading, and writing. These skills are taught by incorporating soft skills to a maximum level where the learners engage in drama, singing, presentations, community projects, and library sessions.
