Abstract

The present research aims at designing an applied linguistics course for the students of literature at the post-graduate level. The inclines of English linguistics and literature are: One is related to the immaculate hypothetical evidence, while the other is related to culture, society, and art, and the various results it can envision, which brings it under a specific arrangement. In this study, the researcher refines different hypotheses and theories instead of the issue of further developing exercises and instruction modules. Content Analysis by Harold Lasswell has been used as a tool for data collection and the framework applied for this study is Syllabus Designing by David Nunan because to design a course, syllabus designers animate the feelings, needs, and musings of their students by engaging them in different activities. This can occur if instructors separately investigate standards and examinations with abilities. They, at that point, then made an English Literature class that would be met with a course in building hypotheses, methods, and theories about their experience and the discoveries of their associates (e.g., Nunan, Widdowson, Candlin, Carter, etc.) in attempting to concentrate in this new era. By then, they are associated and adjusted to the English (literature) courses of consenting to the writer's experience and consenting to the requests of certain researchers (e.g. Pennycook in Critical applied Linguistics). The purpose of the researcher is to give direction on how this is accomplished. The study is limited to the students of English Literature at the postgraduate level only. The result shows that a teacher who knows about the reasoning for the plan of the schedule can show what, why, when, where, and how much for the class to instruct much better and all the more proficiently. The research is intended to direct teachers to a basic appraisal of thoughts and the educated application regarding their study halls.
