What the college says

Through applying linguistic frameworks and terminology to texts, you will be introduced to the ways in which English is used by individuals. You will learn how children acquire language and develop into skilled adult communicators who can adapt their speech and writing according to audience, purpose, genre, mode and representation. You will focus on how language varies in its wider social and geographical contexts, considering how factors such as region, gender, class and occupation affect the way in which we converse. You will explore how and why language develops over time, and will study social attitudes to, and debates about, language diversity and change. Using the knowledge and skills you have developed, you will then independently research an area of the subject that particularly interests you, and will also develop and reflect upon your own writing expertise, by completing an academic investigation and a piece of original writing with an accompanying commentary.
