English Language, Linguistics and Speech Experience Day
Discover the science, structure and power of language at our English Language, Linguistics & Speech Experience Day.
Designed for Year 12 and Year 13 students, this interactive event will introduce you to the study of how language works, how it shapes our identities and societies, and how we communicate with the world around us.
Through engaging academic taster sessions, you'll explore the English language in action, uncover the principles behind linguistics, and gain an insight into the fascinating field of speech and language sciences. From analysing everyday conversations and regional dialects to understanding how speech is produced and perceived, you'll experience the diverse ways language can be studied at university.
