Curriculum
Year one
The English Language modules will provide you with a foundation which will enable you to examine and analyse texts in the broadest sense. The modules will help you to understand and describe aspects of meaning in written and spoken discourse and to understand how we achieve certain effects through style and genre. You will also gain an overview of how and why English has developed into the global language it is today.
The main aim of the Linguistics modules is to acquaint you with the fundamental aspects of language structure and language use. You will learn the tools to analyse sound, grammar and meaning. In the first year you will become familiar with aspects of forensic linguistics, and you will find out how to conduct studies on language varieties and language structures.
You will study the following compulsory modules.
- English: Past, Present and Future
