As well as developing your language competence, you'll take modules that explore the role of language and communication across cultures in today's global communication networks. You'll combine degree level learning of your chosen language with the option to study a broad range of topics such as translation issues, intercultural communication, applied linguistics, and language-specific culture modules. The language-learning element of your degree will involve translation from and to English, reading and listening comprehension, precis and paraphrase work, the study of different styles and registers, lexical exercises and oral work. Since presentation skills are vital in the contemporary work environment, you'll focus on vocal and physical projection, developing poise and managing nerves. You'll also practise speaking from notes, improvisation, and being able to structure arguments coherently. In all of these activities, you'll use contemporary rather than literary or historical materials. You'll also have the opportunity to take another language as part of your degree or as a non-credit module with certification at no extra cost. You can choose from Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Advanced English. You'll spend your third year in a country where your degree language is spoken. During this year you'll deepen your experience of the language and culture by either studying at a local university, taking up a teaching assistantship or going on a suitable work placement. If you are studying Japanese, you will attend one of our partner universities in Japan. We have exchange links with many universities in France and Spain, as well as links with universities in Japan, Canada and Latin America, including Mexico, Uruguay and Chile.
