Description

Welcome to the wonderful world of English. In this course, you will encounter a wide range of English texts, ranging from sonnets to short stories and news reports to reviews and opinion pieces.

The main objective of the English Language Diploma Course is to teach you how to analyse language critically. You will examine the techniques used by both fiction and non-fiction writers in the production of various kinds of texts, consider the different styles they use to convey their ideas as well as the kind of language they employ to impart information to the reader.

The course begins by sharing a brief history of the English language – explaining how it is continuously changing and developing – and providing the tools required to analyse, dissect and classify its various forms.

We’ll look at approaches to texts, take an in-depth look at the development of prose styles, and attempt to answer the question ‘what defines poetry?’.

From there, we’ll delve deep into the world of journalistic English, explore how to develop your close-reading abilities in both fiction and non-fiction texts, and run through advice on how to put your English language skills to use in a real-life context.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Gain knowledge of the history and development of the English language
  • Become a more critical, insightful and analytical reader
  • Understand why authors choose to use certain elements of language, style or technique
  • Know how to put your improved English language skills to practical, real-life use

Who is this course for?

The English Language Diploma Course is for anyone who wants to understand the ins and outs of English. This can be to better understand the choices made by your favourite author, poet, journalist or blogger, or to put the knowledge to practical use in your everyday use of English.

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.
