The course is a mixture of applied linguistics, theoretical linguistics and creative writing. As such, English Language encourages students to develop their interest in and enjoyment of English, through learning about its structures and its variations. It allows students to develop their ability to express themselves in both speech and writing with increasing competence and sophistication; to encounter a varied range of reading and to develop their skills of critical and attentive listening. Ultimately, the course will allow the avid student to develop a better appreciation of their versatile and colorful ‘Mother Tongue’ and how it has developed across time and across the world.
5 x 5-9 grades including grade 6 in BOTH Literature and Language.
There are two terminal exams, in the summer of Year 13 (80%); there are three pieces of coursework (20%).
