English Language

Course summary

A level English language is very different from GCSE English language. It involves the study of how English is used in society by individuals and groups and how different factors, such as a person’s class, ethnicity, age, occupation and gender affect the way they use language. The course also focuses on how language is learnt by children and how English has developed into a global language. It will appeal to you if you are interested in what people say, how they say it, how written language affects readers and how you can adapt your writing style to persuade and entertain others.
