One component of the course involves the study of language in relation to the individual and society. This includes analysing and comparing a wide variety of texts, and studying children’s spoken and written language development from 0-11 years. Another component focuses on wider themes of language diversity and change, with essay-writing about these topics and analysis of texts presenting ideas, attitudes and opinions about them. There are also opportunities to produce your own writing about language topics and ideas. In addition there is a more individual element where you will produce your own data-based language investigation, based on independent research, and a piece of original writing with a commentary.
As an inclusive Sixth Form College we are confident that we have a range of A Level courses suited to learners of all abilities. The good news is that as long as you are predicted to achieve at least 5 A*-C (including English and Maths at grade 5/C) you will be guaranteed an interview.
This subject will be assessed by external examination and coursework (the language investigation).
