As well as speaking, we help you to improve your listening, reading, and writing skills, whether you wish to learn a language for pleasure, study, or work. We also offer British Sign Language courses, Community Interpreting courses and University English Language courses for foreign students wishing to enter university in the UK, as well as Study Skills courses. Our English Language and Study Skills courses are for students whose first language is not English or who need support in English with reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Learning a modern language for GCSE is a matter of taking your first steps to learn rudimentary grammar and vocabulary that leave real conversations still beyond your reach. It is at the sixth-form level that you will deepen your grammatical competence and broaden your vocabulary so that you can converse about and debate real-world issues, and immerse yourself into the culture, literature and arts of the country. Even though we live in an age where it seems English is spoken everywhere and where Google Translate will help you where it is not, there is nothing like the experience and satisfaction of being able to step inside a different way of speaking and seeing the world.

When doing your GCSEs in English language and perhaps English Literature you will have commented on how language can be used to achieve effects and you will have created a variety of texts, like letters and descriptions. You will have had the chance to write creatively. All of this experience is a sound basis for undertaking this A level which takes the analysis of language much further. We develop a methodology for the analysis of language and apply it to language as it occurs in a wide range of contexts, from children’s spoken and written language to the language of advertisements and the mass media. We also look at how language has changed from 1550 to the present day.

Our English and Maths courses can help you to improve your skills to prepare you for employment or for going onto another course at a higher level. If you are working, then these courses will help you to progress in your career and learn new skills. We also offer a number of English courses for those from overseas looking to learn English. These courses are for students who need support with reading, writing, listening and speaking in English.

Are you fascinated by literature and its cultural and political contexts? Our BA English offers you the chance to study the full range of English literature and to develop valuable new skills in writing, reading and critical thinking. Based on our historic campus in the heart of London, you’ll gain a detailed knowledge of literary works from the medieval period to the present day and discover authors from a variety of places and cultures.
