A Level English Language will allow you to explore the ways in which meanings are created in spoken, written and electronic forms of communication. You will practice evaluating the impact of grammatical structures in a range of data extracts ranging from social 'chat' to academic materials. Exploring linguistic features enables you to understand how language shapes and creates viewpoints. Language debates are a key element of the course including youth language, social media and gender variation.
You need to have achieved 5 GCSEs at grade 9/A* - 4/C including Math's, and a grade 5 or above in English Language. You will also be required to complete a GCSE to A-level Transition Project, prior to enrolment, to prepare you for A-level English Language.
This is a two-year linear A Level where you are examined on the whole syllabus at the end of the second year. Each project is assessed as a portfolio of work. You will be assessed through 5 hours of examinations at the end of this 2 year linear course. There is also a 20% coursework component. To prepare you for external exams, you will carry out a programmed of weekly tests, exam style assessments and Formal Progress Points where you will monitor your attendance, how hard you are working and your academic progress. All Year 1 students will progress through a Year 1 Gateway that will allow you to progress to Year 2.
