What the college says
A Level English Language offers a wide-ranging introduction to concepts and methods of the disciplines of English language/linguistics in relation to a diverse range of spoken and written forms of English, including electronic and multimodal forms. The course covers a range of terminology as part of the language levels, and you learn how to apply both your prior and new knowledge to the texts we find in our everyday lives. We consider language from a psychological and social perspective as well as unpicking the ‘nuts and bolts’ of grammar and spelling.
