History+of+English

Because we use language daily, it is important to know where it comes from and how it has developed over time. Our first unit of study is on the history of our English language. Here we study that all language is symbolic in nature and that all language is based on agreement. Students learn all about the periods of English language history--Old English, Middle English, Modern English and Current English. They also study the German and Latin-French influences on our language.
