What the college says

This is a scientific study of how language works on different levels and is nothing like anything you’ve ever studied at GCSE. You will develop a thorough understanding of grammar as well as the ability to write coherently and fluently. This course offers the opportunity to explore differences between spoken and written language use as well as more contemporary multi-modal texts. Of great interest is the way in which language can be used to create representations of people, events and institutions and to manipulate audiences, including you! Other fields of study include the ways in which children develop as speakers and writers and how language changes across time, place and community.
