In this class we will look at the English language starting with the ModE period, picking up where I usually stop in the class History of the English language. We'll be looking at the spread of English around the world and the way in which it changed in the different varieties.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
