It encourages students to develop their interest in and appreciation of English, through learning about its structures and its functions, its developments and its variations. The course will look at a range of language issues such as the language use in different social contexts, different accents and dialects, the histories of words or the reasons why new words appear, the influence of modern technology on language and why women and men speak differently.
