A coursework assignment will also be undertaken in year 2 of the course; students produce a portfolio of two essays, comprising a language investigation exploring the use of language in practice and a piece of original writing with associated commentary to enable candidates to demonstrate their ability to use the language according to genre effectively and then to deconstruct and analyze their use of it.
