What the college says

This is a modern and vibrant course which gives students the practical ‘tools’ to become independent, critical readers of realworld language use in the 21st century. Building upon earlier study, students will be taught how English is constructed, so that they can identify how the constituent parts of language enable speakers and writers to exert influence and construct identities. Students will engage with current language debates about the changing nature and status of the English language and its place in a global society; the use of technology and its impact upon the pace of language change is an exciting element. As linguists, students will become collectors of language and will learn how to sample, research and investigate language concepts and varieties.
