English Language

Course summary

English Language A Level gives individuals the opportunity to understand how their language is formed and has changed over time. Having a greater understanding of what makes up and influences one’s language gives students a greater understanding of themselves as individuals and as part of various communities. English Language at A Level will develop non-fiction tasks introduced at GCSE and give students the chance to explore the skills of language acquisition. English A Level also gives students the prospect of exploring the rich culture of the English Language by understanding the varying accents and dialects within our society and celebrating the differences within them. The Non-Exam Assessment element is research-based and gives students the autonomy to investigate an aspect of interest to them in detail.
