The English Language course encourages students to develop their interest and appreciation of English through learning about its structures and its functions, its developments and its variations. It is a two-year course that appeals to students who would like to continue investigating the contemporary uses and applications of English. This course trains students in the methods of analysis appropriate to the fields of English language and linguistics. Encompassing the fields of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, this course offers a common core of analytical methods, topics and skills used in approaching a study of English Language today. Topics include language and social context, language and diversity as well as investigations into the changes in language in terms of regional, ethnic, national and global 'Englishes'. These units will conclude with exams at the end of the second year. In addition, two pieces of coursework will make up the final part of this course: a 2,000 word language investigation and a 1,500 word piece of original writing and commentary.
