A love of reading literature and writing analytically to put forward your own interpretations of texts is necessary to enjoy this course. You will look at all three forms of novels, poetry, and drama and explore the historical and social contexts in which texts were written and received. The skills you have developed at GCSE English Language and Literature will be enhanced further to ensure you can not only analyze within your own readings but you can also explore and apply the views of others before arriving at your conclusion. The course is designed to make you a critical, informed, and assured surveyor of literature and will certainly ready you for further Literature studies. Year 12 and Year 13: Throughout the entirety of the English Literature course, you will study a total of three units that will span across all forms of literary text as well as a range of time periods. You will study a total of two examination units that will make up 80% of your overall English Literature grade.
