"To read at all, we must read the book of ourselves in the texts in front of us, and we must bring the text home, into our thoughts and lives, into our judgments and deeds. We cannot enter the texts we read, but they can enter us. That is what reading is all about." (6) Robert Scholes, Protocols of Reading.
Welcome to the English Department at the University of North Florida.
Every culture defines itself partly through its language. Every culture possesses a fund of stories, poems, traditions, and sayings which help to construct its sense of the world. Educated people everywhere are recognized through their ability to use language well. Our lives — professional, personal, and artistic — are enriched by our powers to speak and write as we would wish. The English Department is devoted to the arts and skills of language. The department serves UNF's students through training and education in English. Recognizing the centrality of writing skills to an educated citizenry, the department seeks to enhance its own expertise in the teaching of writing, to develop links between the department's composition courses and the remaining General Education curriculum, and to assist faculty in other departments as they, too, seek to teach writing.
