Grammar and other technical tools of analysis will be taught as a means of analyzing various types of text, both spoken and written, as well as topics such as child language development and how gender is represented in speech. The first year involves the study of the following: ● Original writing for a real-world purpose on a topical language issue ● Linguistic analysis of authentic texts ● Language in the media and in technology The second year will include: ● Analysis of how children acquire language ● How language changes over time ● A language investigation into an area of each learner’s particular individual interest An English lesson is one in which ideas are shared and views about texts and linguistic issues are thought through and discussed. We consider the contexts, purposes, and audiences which shape texts. You will need to listen to others thoughtfully and be prepared to discuss your own views. You will be expected to read and write extensively, both in lessons and independently.
Six GCSEs grade 9–4 including English Language (must include at least two GCSEs at 5 or above for A-Level courses). This course also requires students to have achieved grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature. Entry to the second year is dependent on the standard achieved in the first year.
You will sit two exam papers at the end of the second year (each paper is 40% of the A level) and complete two pieces of coursework (combined, these are 20% of the A level).
