Course summary

You will study a range of spoken, written and multi-modal texts and investigate how language can be used for different purposes and audiences. These models will then be used to inspire your own persuasive and creative writing. You will also study the variations of language between different genders, ethnicities, social groups, geographical areas and professions as well as learn about how language has changed over time. The course also contains a unit on child language acquisition in which you will research the nature vs nurture debate and explore how children learn to speak, read and write.
