Units include:
language variation - how language choices can create personal identities. You will also explore language variation in English from c1550 (the beginnings of early modern English) to the present day
child language - how children learn to speak, read and write and the stages of development. You will learn about theories around language acquisition
investigating language - to develop your independent research skills and to focus on an area of language that interests you
crafting language – this module allows you to demonstrate your skills as a writer within your selected genre, crafting texts for different audiences and/or purposes. You will also reflect on your research and writing in an accompanying commentary.
Have you ever wondered why we use certain words and phrases in our spoken exchanges? Using linguistic terminology and concepts, you will develop the ability to see what language choices reveal about a person’s opinion of themselves, their listeners and what their real purposes are in the communication.
Explore these ideas as well as a wide range of language issues. You will see how changes in language over time have been influenced by key historical events. You will also explore how children learn to communicate based on their environmental influences - like family interactions, television and books.
