Why English Language and Linguistics? <\/a><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The systematic study of human language from different perspectives: English Language and Linguistics gives students the opportunity to investigate linguistic phenomena in multicultural and international contexts.<\/p>\r\n

The Department offers a wide array of modules for students to enhance their analytical skills: linguistic patterning, the contextual-based development of language in different cultures and institutions, and even how this field interacts with others such as semiotics, literature and popular culture. Our students are critical and creative thinkers who are able to express themselves in speech and writing with clarity, precision and elegance.<\/p>\r\n

Why English Literature? <\/a><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The study of English Literature is the study of life’s possibilities. Through the alluring, imaginative worlds of writers like Shakespeare, the Bront\u00eb sisters, Toni Morrison and J. M. Coetzee, learn to see the world with a broad, flexible, critical and creative mind.<\/p>\r\n

We embrace the diversity of literature here at NUS. Our students have the opportunity to study the main periods of British and American literature as well as world literature such as South Asian and Southeast Asian literature. There is flexibility in adopting generic or topic approaches with subjects such as film, visual media, critical theory, gender and sexuality, and contemporary issues like literature and ecology. Students are trained to read literature using aesthetic, historical, political or theoretical approaches.<\/p>\r\n

Why Theatre and Performance Studies? <\/a><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

The study of theatre and performance will engage your creative and critical mind. At NUS Theatre and Performance Studies, we believe that the study of theatre: its practices, its operations and its impact on society can equip you with transferrable critical thinking, resource organisation and public call-and-response skills.<\/p>\r\n

Courses offered by the Department share a common commitment to understanding how theatre is made and the contexts in which it has significance for its communities. Students have the opportunity to study a wide range of cultures, histories, movements and ideas: everything from pre-modern Asian theatres to current cinematic and digital practices.<\/p>\r\n
