What the college says

If you enjoyed exploring the way writers use language in GCSE English Language and want to find out more about how language works, English Language is perfect for you. This is a course which appeals to students who are both analytical and creative in their thinking and writing, and by the end of this two-year course you’ll be writing opinion pieces, travelogues, and reviews that many published journalists would be proud of. By building upon the skills you acquired at GCSE, our experienced team will prepare you for a more scientific approach to the study of language, with content that links directly to university subjects such as Linguistics. We take a deep dive into the big language issues, seeking the answers to questions like: Is there such a thing as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ English? What factors influence our use of language in different situations? Can we stop language from changing? And should we?
