Vision and Message of Head of Department

Dr. Sarmila Acharif

Associate Professor

Bienvenue! Welcome! As the Head of the Department of French, I am delighted to welcome you to one of the vibrant academic faculty. Our department is dedicated to promoting a deep appreciation for the French language and Francophone cultures by offering a comprehensive curriculum that spans translation studies, interpretation skills, language acquisition, literature and linguistics.  Our dynamic members of faculty, all trained in France, bring a wealth of proficiency and a passion for teaching. Our programs are designed not only to enhance linguistic aptitude but also to cultivate critical thinking, intercultural competence leading the students towards a global perspective.

In addition to our academic syllabi, we encourage students to engage in various co-curricular activities, including language clubs, cultural events etc. We also provide students with various study-abroad opportunities through the MOU’s signed between Pondicherry University and French Universities. Having strong connections with French-speaking communities and institutions, we facilitate exchange programs and collaborative research opportunities. These partnerships enhance the learning experience and provide our students with a broader perspective of the French and Francophone world.
