English Language

Course summary

A Level English Language studies how language is used in everyday life: in newspapers, magazines, in conversation, and on social media. The course will help you understand how language can affect people and the ways in which they are perceived. Professor David Crystal says: “The more we know about language the more chance we shall have of success, whether we are advertisers, politicians, journalists, doctors, lawyers – or just ordinary people, trying to understand and be understood.
