Introduction
Learning English has become an urgent requirement to deal with globalization and cultural diversity among different civilizations. In fact, the Department of English Language and Translation at Gaza University is one of the leading departments not only at the level of the Faculty of Languages and Mass Communication, but also at the university level. English Language and Translation Department is distinguished as the only one at the level of Palestine that grants a bachelor's degree in translation, as the translation major in other Palestinian universities is a minor, not a major. The establishment of this department came as a response to the Palestinian society's need for qualified and professional translators who can convey ambitions, dreams and suffering of the Palestinian people to the West. The department provides high-quality education for students that includes the latest findings of translation experts and scholars in the field, in addition to using the latest technological means that help translators to do their work. The department also provides training inside and outside the university for students, so that they can practice the profession and thus compete in the labor market.
The Bachelor of English Language and Translation program offers an academic plan and a wide-ranging curriculum for language, translation sciences, and literature that combines comprehensiveness and depth in dealing with knowledge in all English language skills in order to improve the student's language skills.
English Department has a long-term vision and great ambitions to be at the forefront of the most important academic institutions in the world. We are confident that we are moving forward in adopting an educational environment capable of preparing and qualifying graduates who are able to face challenges creatively.
