English Language Studies is just what it sounds like - a course on language! Language is what makes us human, and the way groups or individuals use language is what makes us unique. The goal of this course is to explore our means of communication by studying different aspects of language such as its history, linguistic elements, and regional differences. We will also study vocabulary and grammar in addition to writing for a variety of purposes (namely expository/research). Finally, noticing how language impacts your world is not only interesting, but essential to facilitating our class discussions. Therefore, recording language observations will be a key component of the course.
