What the college says

English language is integral to practically every aspect of human life. You might explore the dramatic historical events that led to the modern English you use today, or relive the process of child language acquisition. You could engage with the politically-charged problems of racism and sexism, or tune in to and map out the rich variety of regional dialects around you. Or, you could plot the ever changing path of current and future language use as English finds its place in the 21st century. Whatever route you take, studying English Language at an advanced level will reward you with a deeper awareness of yourself and your place within the world. Taking A level English Language will also provide you with a technical understanding of linguistics: the way words, sounds, meanings and structure are interwoven to make the texts you see and hear each day.
