Course Descriptions

The course aims to (1) help students acquire a new perspective on English in its totality, not as the language of a few traditional English-speaking countries but as a de facto ‘world language’, with many ‘old’ and ‘new’ varieties which exhibit their own linguistic features and functions; (2) enable students to analyse the linguistic as well as social, political, cultural issues arising from the emergence of English as a world language; and (3) enhance global communicative skills and be able to recognise and distinguish common dialects, accents, and other linguistic variations of English.
