What the college says

English Language is a fantastic opportunity to: • study a range of different texts • learn about the key language frameworks • consider different varieties of language, such as the differences between how males and females speak • find out about how language has changed • discuss the attitudes people have to different varieties of English, such as different accents and dialects • learn about how children acquire language • investigate an area of language that particularly interests you • develop your own creative writing This course will suit you if you enjoy analysing a wide variety of texts from advertisements to magazine articles. You will discover how to look at everyday texts in great detail, including transcripts of spoken language. You will learn all about the key language frameworks and be able to discuss how texts are written and received. Many students study English Language alongside subjects such as English Literature, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Languages or Drama. However, it combines very effectively with most A level subjects.
