A Level English Language is a fascinating course for anyone who wants to broaden their horizons while challenging their knowledge and understanding of how language is used and learnt both in the British Isles and around the world.

We will provide you with a variety of written, spoken and multimodal texts to help you develop your own critical, analytical and evaluative skills. You will learn how to apply different language levels of analysis to a range of written and spoken texts. You will be able to identify how people use language differently in order to achieve different outcomes. You will become skilled at identifying different uses of English and be able to analyse and evaluate these uses depending on representation, outcome and meaning. You will work independently at re-creating your own creative text as well as carrying out a language investigation into a topic of your own choice.
