The focus is on language, language development and relationships among languages: a scientific/theoretical perspective and a vocational perspective. The theoretical frameworks adopted are the latest in the field.

The curriculum includes courses on the phonology, syntax and semantics of English, courses on language acquisition, varieties of English, linguistic change, the structure of the lexicon, discourse analysis and computational linguistics. Students are also required to attend a practical English course.
