 It is the second language of the vast majority of bilinguals in the world. So if you have good English, if you understand how to use English well, it really is a ticket to the rest of the world. Welcome to our viewers joining us from around the world. We begin this news hour with breaking news from the conflict in Ethiopia. I teach on the linguistics part of the course, and there we really give you a thorough grounding in the structure of the English language. Of course, everyone who comes here can speak English, but you learn about the structure, the sound structures, the word structures, the grammatical structures that underpin the English language. I teach American literature and culture. Most of my work is actually with popular culture. Contemporary recorded music, the cinema, and also graphic novels. We do have very interesting courses on offer. When the students now come into our master's program, they can select courses which interest them, not just courses which they have to take. You'll learn about the history of English, the development of English, and its use in modern day, in the modern day world. If you like to think creatively and you have a passion and drive for it, you can expect that to just grow tremendously over the few years that you spend here. We have a laboratory in which we look at the processing of language. We have an eye tracker which allows us to track eyes when people are reading English so that we can investigate their reading processes. The department itself also has super skilled professors and teachers. We are very lucky to have professors who really, really care and are passionate about the subject that they teach. It's very easy to ask questions. You never feel stupid for responding or replying in class and the general environment for studying and learning is tremendous. Christenstan is a great place for studying because it's slightly smaller than the capital city and it still has so many opportunities for students and young adults. The university is a considerable portion of the city and therefore it has the feel of a college town. It's so beautiful here. That has to be the first thing that you say. The surroundings are fantastic, the weather is great. We get a little bit more warmth and then in the winter we get a little bit more snow so we get more of the climate that is enjoyable to live in.
