This course will allow you to further develop how to analyse texts, building on your skills from GCSE when considering why certain language features have been used by a writer. However, language analysis is just one small part of this course. There are other aspects which will be new to you, meaning that this qualification offers fresh and original learning to every student. In the first year, your new learning will focus on analysing speech, and learn the terminology to do so. We will consider why we speak in a certain way and why. We will consider our accent and dialect as well as thinking about whether our age or gender makes a difference to how we communicate. We will also look into the language of occupations, thinking about how our job may influence the way we talk. Studying language in this way will really make you think about how you speak in different situations and how you change your language depending who you are talking to (even if you don’t realise you’re doing it!) We will also think about how language is used to create meaning, and to represent different groups of people.
Students should hold a minimum of 5 GCSE grades at 4+ 6 GCSEs at grade C or above, including Maths and English Students should hold a grade 5 at GCSE English Language.
There are two exams for English Language and two parts to the NEA which all assess a range of skills.
