Course summary

A-level English Literature will help you develop your communication skills in all areas: speaking and listening, reading and writing.

Students are encouraged to think independently around a text, develop their own unique interpretations and also consider other critical viewpoints. The course is very lively with lots of discussion-based activities. Students wanting to improve their analytical skills, and those who enjoy reading and writing should consider the course.
