What's It All About?
This is your opportunity to take control and conduct a linguistic investigation into a topic of your choice.
You'll propose an original hypothesis/question, gather your data to analyse, and put together a written report to summarise and conclude your findings.
Is offers a great chance to delve into something you're really interested in, whether that be related to another subject, your future career goals, or just something you do as a hobby.
The investigation is part of your Non Exam Assessed work, you'll complete it in your second year of the course and it is worth 10% of your final grade.
" The Investigation was definitely my favourite part of the course. Getting to take control of a topic you really enjoy isn't something you get to do in many subjects." - Jacob
