Students learn to recognise and work with the uses and features of the language that are essential to a wide range of social, academic and professional contexts. The major provides a solid and comprehensive foundation for students who aim to work professionally with English in different contexts and countries, especially those intending to pursue post-graduate qualifications in education.
