Course summary

English Language and Literature encourages students to explore the relationships that exist between the producer of a text and the receiver. We will consider aspects of language analysis and theory to help us unpick the finer details of what each writer does, how they do it, and why they do it. During this course, students will read widely and independently with set texts including a range of multi-modal texts, prose, poetry, and drama. They will also have the opportunity to practice their creative writing skills using a set text as the inspiration for their writing. English Language and Literature is a highly regarded A Level that can take students forward to almost any course of study. It is an essential choice for students considering an English degree but would be a good option for students considering Humanities subjects, languages, or Law. It could lead to many careers such as Law, Journalism, Teaching, Business Management, and Publishing.
