English Language

Course summary

Would you enjoy the challenge of studying technical aspects of English not covered at GCSE? Are you interested in learning about the structure of language, including grammar, and looking at a wide range of spoken and written language? Would you enjoy learning to write in different creative and journalistic styles and finding out how language use is affected by gender, occupational relationships, power and ethnicity? Would you enjoy considering attitudes to accents, formal language and slang, discovering how children learn language, and how language changes over time? If so, English Language is a fascinating choice of course.
