How to Ling and Lang for a week

Hiya, My name is Emma and I am currently a second year student studying English Language and Linguistics. One thing I love about studying Linguistics is the range of topics you can study. The department at York is so amazing and the staff are so supportive but the best thing above everything else within the department are the opportunities that are offered outside of academia such as student voice roles. I wrote a blog to give you an insight into what life is like as an undergraduate studying English Language and Linguistics at York. Hopefully it will inspire you to study at York and give you some helpful tips for when you are in my position very soon.
