English Language

Assessment

Two pieces of coursework are produced. Firstly, students will create their own original text and reflect critically on their own processes of production, while analyzing the texts produced by others. Secondly, students also have the opportunity to work independently to research and investigate an aspect of language in use which is of personal interest to them. The ability to work independently to follow a student’s own avenue of interest in the field of linguistics is critical. English language is assessed by two examinations: language – the individual and society, and language – diversity and change. In addition two pieces of non-exam assessments (language in action – investigation and original writing) are required.
