This qualification develops your learning in four main areas:
The level and depth of your learning gradually increases as you work through the qualification. You'll be supported throughout by the OU's unique style of teaching and assessment ? which includes a personal tutor to guide and comment on your work; top quality course texts; elearning resources like podcasts, interactive media and online materials; tutorial groups and community forums.
This degree explores human communication by focusing on the English language, its history, diversity and flexibility. You'll learn what distinguishes machine language from human language and how people adapt and change their ways of communicating in multilingual and multicultural contexts. You'll investigate how language works from written texts and conversations down to words and the smallest units of sounds, through words, conversations and written texts. You'll also explore English as a creative medium to express humour, thoughts and emotions. It's not, however, designed to teach English to speakers of other languages.
