Understanding Language(s)
If you want to understand how language works, develops, changes and is used, this sub-theme is for you.
Modules in this sub-theme are arranged according to four pathways: teaching language and language acquisition, language structure and analysis (of sounds, words and grammar), language use, language in the brain. So – find out how we process, learn and communicate with language. Discover how and why languages evolve. Study discourse, concepts of culture and identity, and the powerful role of language in society and the media. If developing your analytical skills is a priority, then what are you waiting for?
