Hope’s Department of English cultivates vision, insight and imagination.

We do this through individual and collaborative practices of writing and reading that bridge boundaries within the global community.

We’re a collaborative community where students and faculty challenge each other intellectually and creatively.

English students at Hope dive deep into literature of every kind and learn how to improve their writing with masters of the craft. Through composition, creative writing and literature classes, our students become more artistic in their scholarship and more knowledgeable in their creativity.

Small classes and one-on-one collaboration foster an environment that is both demanding and encouraging. We offer a wide range of unique courses taught by professors who love what they do and take joy in furthering their students intellectually, spiritually and socially. Being a part of our department is much more than time spent in class and individual coursework.

本系致力于为学生提供丰富的机会来补充他们的学习和参与。从校内活动到嘉宾演讲,再到志愿者活动,从备受欢迎的工作坊到师生合作,希望的英籍学生积极参与,收获实践经验,留下难忘的回忆。每个学生在这个项目中的经历都是独特的,是根据他或她的兴趣和热情量身定做的。我们一起工作,互相支持。
