Foreign language learning provides multi-dimensional growth to an individual’s persona. We already know that knowledge of English apart from our mother tongue opens up so many opportunities to a person. Imagine the vantage point students can have while learning a foreign language in this immensely globalised world! Language learning does not just enable an individual with a particular language; rather it opens up a portal to completely different culture. Scientific findings state that the knowledge of a different language makes a person more adaptive to change and more accepting of varied work and cultural environments.

Amity School of Liberal Arts & Foreign Languages (ASLA & FL), Gurugram, in tandem with the vision of Amity University, has been providing its students with the best quality training in Languages, Linguistics, Literature, History and Political Science – including many additional areas such as Sanskrit Studies, Performing Arts, Quebec Studies, Tagore Studies etc which are all tailored as per their demands, interests and requirements. For the last decade, ASLA & FL has been tirelessly striving to take Amity University, Gurugram, to achieve greater distinctions. We continuously provide opportunities to our students to participate in various competitions, held in cultural centres and top ranking universities. Not just the students, but also the faculty members are motivated to better themselves on methodological and research levels.

Knowledge of foreign language, literature, politics and governance as well as history are all required for a multi-dimensional growth of an individual’s persona. We already know that knowledge of English apart from our mother tongues and a number of foreign languages opens up so many opportunities to a person. Applied Linguistics and TESOL as a newly introduced discipline in the School has been doing very well. Imagine the vantage point students can have while learning the languages we teach in this immensely globalised world! Studying of liberal arts does not just enable an individual with a particular time, space and community, it rather opens up a portal to completely different culture. Scientific findings of the disciplines we handle make a person more adaptive to change and more accepting of varied work and cultural environments.

Past record of 100% placement of our undergraduate students in various disciplines is an authentication of our claims. To bring international standards to our teaching process, we have also been collaborating with embassies, cultural centres, international universities among other renowned institutes through MoUs and student exchange programmes. Our students are provided with and encouraged to garner knowledge of national and international events and perspectives. We ensure that the academic and intellectual pursuits of our students never see an end.

At Amity School of Liberal Arts and Foreign Languages, we don’t train students, we educate and empower them.
