About the subject
This new and exciting subject approaches the study of English in two different ways. The study of literary texts is complemented by looking in detail at a wide range of other textual material (eg letters, diaries, speeches, magazine and newspaper articles etc). We study how writers use language in different contexts and for a variety of audiences and purposes, and on this course students will have many opportunities to create their own original texts too.
Learning Styles
Class, group and paired discussion are the staple means of learning in this subject. One-to-one tuition is offered for students doing their own original writing.
Subject combinations and progression
The subject, being extremely broad-based, combines well with virtually anything. Anyone who wants to pursue a career in the media, or journalism, or any work which involves being able to understand and manipulate language would be well advised to give "Lang and Lit" a trial.
