Content
More people speak English as a second language than a first language, making English a true world language and a useful means of communication in all fields of study. Improving your English is an important aim on the English Language and Culture Minor. You will improve your fluency and pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and develop your research and academic writing skills.
At the same time, you explore how social factors affect language variation in English, how various Englishes exist worldwide that live and thrive in the context of each other, and the social factors that affect how people speak the language.
