In Year 1, this course will enable students to explore the fundamental structures, functions and diversity of writing, speech and conversation, and how language functions in different social contexts. Students will also learn methods of language analysis which will underpin their learning throughout the whole course. In Year 2, students will explore variations in written texts and how children's language develops from birth. There is also a coursework unit which will enable students to investigate a language area of their choice as well as giving them an opportunity to write creatively.

English Language is a subject which is very well regarded by higher education institutions. Though it is something we use every day, this is an opportunity to understand the mechanic of our native language. Therefore, it complements any educational course that a student might follow and provides a new perspective on most professions. It is widely accepted for careers in teaching, journalism, the media, social work, marketing, publicity, and many more.
