Description

The course delves into English Morphology, enabling students to grasp the structure and formation of words. This knowledge seamlessly blends into the next module on English Syntax, which focuses on the arrangement of words and the creation of meaningful sentences.

The journey doesn’t stop here. Semantics and Pragmatics take centre stage, offering students a glimpse into the world of meaning and context. By understanding the interplay between words and the nuances they carry in different situations, learners equip themselves with the ability to use English effectively in varied contexts.

The rich tapestry of the English language’s history is revealed in the module on English Historical Linguistics. Here, the evolution, changes, and shifts in the language over centuries are explored, providing a robust understanding of the language’s journey through time.

Dialects and regional variations form an essential part of any language. The English Philology Diploma addresses this through English Dialectology, where the myriad dialects and their unique characteristics are studied. This module complements the subsequent section on English Sociolinguistics, which delves into the social aspects of language use, including factors such as region, class, and ethnicity.

The extensive nature of the English vocabulary is covered in The English Lexicon module. This section empowers learners with the knowledge of word origins, derivations, and the vast array of vocabulary available in English.

Lastly, the English Philology Diploma recognises the significance of imparting this knowledge. Therefore, the final module, Teaching and Learning English, is dedicated to techniques and methodologies effective in teaching English, ensuring that learners not only grasp the content but are also equipped to pass on this knowledge to others.

In conclusion, the English Philology Diploma offers a comprehensive, online learning experience for those eager to understand English beyond its surface. With meticulously curated content, this course promises not only knowledge but also the empowerment to use, teach, and appreciate the English language in all its glory.

At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
