Have you ever wondered why people from different regions speak with different accents or dialects? Are you passionate about words and wish to explore more about how texts achieve their purpose and how they work for their audience? Are you interested in how language has evolved and adapted? If so, you should consider English Language as an option. The study of English Language requires the individual to have a strong interest in the way in which English is used in society, be it to empower, to represent, to exclude, or to oppress. Lessons will involve much debate and discussion of linguistic issues such as attitudes to regional accents, the representation of gender, the changing language and the influence of new technologies. In addition, students will gain knowledge and understanding of the core areas of linguistic study: semantics, lexis, grammar, pragmatics, syntax and phonology. Students will acquire a new nuanced vocabulary with which to analyse texts and be expected to apply this terminology to texts that are both contemporary and archaic.
