What the college says

It is interesting, stimulating and gives you a chance to analyse and understand everyday language and think about how it works. You will study a wide range of texts from spoken transcripts to literary extracts. Part of the course involves analytical skills, looking at technical aspects of language such as grammar and how texts are written. You will also have the opportunity to explore the meaning, context, purpose and intended audience of a range of texts. Other parts of the course allow you to study how language works in everyday life such as learning how children speak, gender differences in language use, regional varieties or how language has changed over time. You will also have the opportunity to develop your own writing skills.
