Course summary

English Language is a popular subject here and our students study a range of fascinating topics such as language and gender, regional variation, the language of social groups, and child language acquisition. You will learn to analyse the ways in which language is used by different groups in the real world. We also explore a range of written and spoken texts, learning to understand the complicated process by which texts ‘work’, considering not only the purpose, genre and audience but also the society in which a text was written and the linguistic features used. Over recent years, the results students have achieved have been fantastic. This is down to the hard work and dedication from specialist staff and the passion and enthusiasm shown by students. We also make sure that the choice of topic for your language investigation – which is your coursework – is up to you: we give you guidance but will encourage you to pursue the area of English Language which interests you the most.
