Course summary

Travel back to the origins of the English language, and study its evolution into the 21st century. Language is central to how we think, create, and reason. Studying with us, you’ll discover the foundations of the English language including sound, structure and meaning, along with discourse, style, and vocabulary. You’ll also study sociolinguistics, examining the diversity of English around the world and how it’s learned by children and non-native speakers. Our work provides vital insights into the nature of language, as well as into the role language plays in shaping our identity and how we interact with others. Throughout the course, you’ll also hear from guest speakers with backgrounds in speech and language therapy, film and acting, government, and more.
