What the college says

The English Language is a fascinating subject to study. It is constantly changing, often spoken entirely differently from one person to the next and now faces the massive impact of new technologies. Maybe you listen with particular interest when you come across an accent that is different from your own, or you might have a young child in your family learning to talk before your very eyes, or perhaps you are intrigued by the way new words seem to appear on a weekly basis – or even by the unique histories of older words. Each of these, and many more besides, are the business of the linguist – and that is what you will become if you study English Language at A Level.
