English Language will provide you with opportunities to explore the different varieties of language used in society and will enable you to develop your skills as a writer. This subject naturally complements other Arts and Humanities subjects and is particularly suited to students wishing to pursue courses or careers in journalism and the media, the law, education and business, careers in which communication skills and knowing the power of language are vital. You will explore and investigate a variety of texts taken from a variety of sources. You will explore how language is shaped according to audience, purpose, genre and mode. Topic will include slang, accent and dialect, gender and power. You will study a range of texts evaluating how language varies because of personal, social, geographical and temporal contexts. You will have the opportunity to study texts from 1600 to the present day and discuss why and how diversity and change occur. You will also look at attitudes to change and diversity. Non-exam assessment: language in action (Coursework) Coursework will allow you to explore and analyse language data independently and develop and reflect on your own writing expertise. You will be required to carry out two different kinds of individual research: • one language investigation (2,000 words excluding data) • one piece of original writing and commentary (750 words each)
