Description

In this subject, we explore the use of English in personal, community, academic and professional contexts. We also explore the nature of language use in a multicultural and plurilingual society. Students will develop knowledge and understanding about language development, and varieties of spoken and written English. They will examine how spoken and written language combine with other ways of making meaning in multimodal texts. Tools derived from a social view of language will be used for text analysis.
