About Prof. P. Das
MA, CGL, PGCTE (The English and Foreign
Languages University)
P Das is a
scholar who is best known for his deep knowledge in the English language and literature.
Other than his vast knowledge in the English Literature, he is also expert in
linguistics, phonetics and several European languages including Ancient Greek,
Latin, German, French etc. Expertise in linguistics, phonetics and knowledge in

knowledge in the ancient Greek and Latin literature and the Biblical studies,
he adeptly decodes the symbolic codes lying in the English literature. He has
published Vibrant Voices from American Poetry (ISBN:

University Syllabi (BA English Honours, Part-III and MA Part-II) published by Indian Books
View. Presently he is writing an authentic textbook on English
Philology meant for different Indian Universities including the University of
Calcutta.

Some Intricate Areas Prof. P Das excels in
I.
Interpretation
of Literature (Spanning the whole syllabi of BA Hons. and MA)
English literature is greatly indebted to the classical literature,
i.e. Greek (e.g. Homer, Aeschylus etc.) and Latin (e.g., Virgil), and to the Bible. To make students well versed in
these, he organizes additional classes or seminars on Homer’s The Iliad
and The
Odyssey
and the Bible along with their symbolic interpretations. These
are crucial to understand the inner meanings of English literature.
II.
Philology (in 1st year syllabus)
Philology is one of the most intricate areas in BA Honours (English)
syllabus. To handle this field expertly, it is necessary to have (i) a sound
knowledge of German as English has come from the Germanic language family,
and (ii) specialization in linguists, as philology deals with the growth and
structure of English. In the heart of West Bengal, only he explains it with
expertise so that students acquire the subject with much interest and
enthusiasm.
III.
Prosody (in 3rd Year syllabus)
Prosody is another different area in the English Honours syllabus.
Without specialization in phonetics, it is next to impossible to handle the
chapter skilfully. The most skilled and experienced Prof P Das has expertise in
this field.
IV.
Creative Writing (in 3rd Year)
So many students are there to speak fluent English but most of them
feel a writers’ block when they are
to write an article on film-review or an essay. To unlock this block, he applies his expertise of Pedagogy
of Developing Writing Skill.
V.
Linguistics,
Phonetics and Modern Grammar (in MA
syllabus)
P Das is the best teacher (in West Bengal and many other states) in
the field of Linguistics, Phonetics and Modern Grammar included in one of the
eight papers of English MA course. He uses a fine and up-to-date mini language
laboratory to make students well versed in these fields.
