Content

Explore human communication by focusing on the history, diversity and flexibility of the English language. You’ll learn what distinguishes machine language from human language and how people adapt communication in multilingual and multicultural contexts. You’ll investigate how language works, from written texts and conversations down to the smallest units of sound, and explore English as a creative medium for expressing humour, thoughts and emotions. While not designed to teach English to speakers of other languages, this diploma gives you the tools to think critically about language and prepares you for further study or a career where strong communication skills matter.
