/^t/Each university student should be required to fulfil just few basic courses compulsory to a particular department, and given a chance to choose a number of additional courses which he or she is interested in. For example in the English department those obligatory subjects could be such components of the practical English course as speaking, pronunciation, grammar and writing. The other topics on the English department curriculum should be optional. Courses such as: linguistics, historical linguistics, comparative linguistics and many more in this area would be, thus, available to students interested in language research. Various courses of literature containing a whole bunch of aspects of literary works would create possibilities for interesting studies for literature - oriented students. Moreover, historical and cultural courses could be as diverse as those in literature and give as many opportunities for history - freaks. Besides, students dreaming of a teacher's job could choose courses among methodology, psychology and different practical teaching techniques classes. At last those who would like to be translators would be given a chance to attend courses like: translation, literary translation or consecutive translation. The only requirement should refer the minimum number of hours that students would have to spend on those optional classes.
