English Language in the Sixth Form
This course encourages students to develop their interest in and enjoyment of English, through learning about its structure and its functions, its development and its variations. It also allows students to develop their ability to express themselves both in speech and writing with increasing competence and sophistication; to encounter a varied range of reading and to develop their skills of critical and attentive listening.
English Language can combine with any A level subject to provide a solid entry base for most university courses in both Arts and Sciences. The linguistics involved in the course will be invaluable for students of modern languages at University level.
The emphasis in the course on independent research provides an excellent grounding for further study in any academic discipline.
