ENGL 380 - The English Language

Credits: (3)
Language is the medium of the art of literature, and this course gives students a chance for an in-depth study of English, the language through which millions of people think, speak, read, and write. The course provides an introduction to Linguistics, as well as Historical Linguistics (the History of English Language) and Sociolinguistics (the role of language in human society). To study language is to study what makes us human, and as such, this course is by nature multi-disciplinary, forming connections across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. This course is required for English Secondary Education majors, and is open to all.
