What the college says

What will I study? ‘Language, the Individual and Society’ will introduce you to textual variations and representations, children’s language development (0-11 years) and methods of language analysis. ‘Language Diversity and Change’ will allow you to explore language diversity and change over time. You will study the key concepts of audience, purpose and mode as well as language in its wider social, geographical and temporal contexts. ‘Language in Action’ will allow you to explore and analyse language data independently and develop and reflect upon your writing expertise. This is a non-exam assessment where you will be expected to produce a language investigation (2,000 words excluding data) and a piece of original writing with commentary (750 words each). What will my study involve? • Your English Language lessons will be seminar-style, meaning that you will engage in group discussions to further your understanding of the content. Furthermore, you will be required to work both in groups and individually to deliver presentations to the rest of your class. • Independent study is an essential part of the course and you will need to read around the subject and understand new vocabulary and language theories in order to apply them to exam questions.
