Are you interested in learning more about how our language works and in exploring its uses? Are you interested in developing your skills as a writer? If so, English Language could be the right course for you. We examine how language is used for a variety of purposes: to persuade, inform and entertain. A wide range of written, spoken and electronic texts are studied throughout the course. You will have opportunities to write for different audiences: young children, teenagers and adults. We study theories of language, such as how society influences language, how children learn to speak and what causes language to change. We also analyse a variety of spoken and written texts in detail in order to learn how they are constructed.
