Discover English Language Studies
No matter what you are thinking about in terms of academics or career, you've got to be able to communicate--to put concepts accurately into words. Whether you're writing a resume, a report, a critique, an essay, a proposal, or an application, whether you're reasoning, analysing, or arguing, you must be able to understand and be understood. With the revolution in electronic communications, this ability is becoming even more important: You are what you communicate!
With this in mind the English Language Section of the Modern Languages Department has designed its courses and programmes to serve students of all languages and backgrounds.
