Speech and language are integral to our society. By studying English Language in conjunction with Sociology you will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of how and why we behave as we do and how we use language to maintain the world around us. Our blog post 'What is Sociology?' highlights the exciting and original research done by our students. This joint degree encourages you to see the world from different angles, discuss new ideas, and familiarise yourself with quantitative and qualitative methods of analysing data and linguistic choices. Additionally, you will be given the opportunity to obtain the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA Award; subject to meeting specific criteria at the end of your second year) as part of your degree and you will become familiar with the theory and practice of applied language teaching.
