These are just some of the questions that might be discussed by English Language and Literature students:
How can I manipulate different features of language in my own creative writing?
What are the differences between written and spoken English?Â
What are the different ways in which people manipulate language to present their views, prejudices and feelings?Â
How do writers create fictional and fantasy worlds?Â
The course is aimed at anyone who enjoys creative writing and reading literary and non-fiction texts. Lesson time is often spent talking and writing about texts so you will need to enjoy forensic analysis of language. The course will develop your skills as a critical reader, your ability to listen attentively to the views of others, and establish your own critical viewpoints through speaking, listening, reading and writing. You will have the chance to flex your creative muscle as well as evaluating your own creative writing in detail through a written commentary.Â
