English Language and Literature

Course summary

The AQA English Language and Literature A-Level offers an integrated approach to studying English, combining the analytical skills of both disciplines. Students explore a diverse range of literary and non-literary texts, from novels and poetry to drama and spoken language, examining how language choices shape meaning and representations. The course also includes creative writing and a non-examined assessment (NEA) where students make connections between literary and non-literary texts, fostering independent learning and critical reflection on their own writing.
