The A level English Language course places an exciting emphasis on the ways in which language use has changed over time and location, as well as studying the ways in which young children develop language skills. It provides a fascinating insight into how we all use language every day, and why there are so many strong opinions about its use.
You will require a Grade 5 or higher in GCSE English Language and Literature. Although the reading requirements for the course are not as extensive as for the English Literature course, wider reading is still required, so an independent enjoyment of reading is essential.
In Year 12 students will complete two formal internal assessments alongside other teacher assessed work. In Year 13 students will complete two final examinations of 2 hours 30 minutes and independently produce two internally assessed pieces for external submission.
