This week in A Level English Language, our students have been trying to spot “crutch phrases” used by their teachers, themselves and their friends and family.
These are filler words we use that add very little meaning, but tell us a lot about the person speaking. We use them when speaking to have a second to think of what to say next or to get attention; we lean on them for support, like a crutch.
Our English Language course studies the complexities of English in real life situations. The study of semantics is key to critical analysis in all subjects and English Language is not only a subject but the medium of learning, making it invaluable academia.
