English Language

Course summary

English Language is an exciting and stimulating course which will transform the way you think about the language around you. You will study texts ranging from children’s books to Mills and Boon romances; MI5 job adverts to EastEnders transcripts; and recipes from 16th Century to Donald Trump’s tweets. You will understand how and why men and women speak differently; why your parents may not understand why a good thing is ‘sick’; and how babies and children learn to speak. You will understand where English came from and where it’s going. Be prepared for hard work, but huge rewards – and to realise just how fascinating the English Language is!
