Written work will cover:

• How to analyse a variety of non-fiction texts
• How to write in a range of styles for different audiences and purposes, e.g. a newspaper/ magazine article, a journal, a play extract or a creative piece
• How to analyse an aspect of spoken language in different contexts, e.g. children’s language or the language of soap operas

Research techniques and language analysis will be central to many of the assignments.

Speaking and listening skills will involve group and individual assignments and will run throughout the course. They are organised in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere. In order to consolidate the skills taught, you will need to do directed study in your own time.

You will study alongside like-minded people in classes delivered by friendly supportive tutors.
