Course Overview

Everyone uses language, but not everyone understands how we use it. This course lets you explore how we learn and use language, how it is structured and how it conveys meaning. It's a chance to investigate social perceptions of language and consider language as a tool to express identity and culture. This course lets you explore language from different perspectives. When you join us, we will focus on helping you develop your academic skills. You will also learn linguistic analysis and explore debates on language use and the historical development of language.
