English Language-Literature A-level is a fantastic opportunity for students with a love of English and a passion for creative writing. Over the two years, you will learn how to use linguistic analysis to explore and understand a range of non-fiction texts, such as spoken language transcripts and also extracts of travel writing, diaries and articles. However, the course does not only focus on analyzing and responding to modern texts. Students will also study and explore classic texts, such as ‘The Great Gatsby’ and also ‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’ Another element of the A-level language literature course is the opportunity to write creatively. This is a chance for students to develop as writers and find their own individual voices. Students get the opportunity to hone both their writing of fiction and non-fiction as part of the assessment for the course. What skills are required of students? ● Writing creatively - students will focus on developing their own voice as a writer. ● Analysing writing styles and patterns of set texts and applying knowledge in both analytical and creative responses. ● Independent reading and research skills, along with the ability to critically analyze challenging texts. ● The ability to learn, understand and apply linguistic and literary terminology when analyzing texts. ● Students should be able to work independently on their own coursework, with guidance from their teachers.
Grade 6 in GCSE English Language and a Grade 6 in GCSE English Literature.
Students will sit three exams at the end of the two-year A-level course. These exams are worth 80% of the final A-level grade. The remaining 20% of the overall grade is made up of the non-examined assessment module where students complete two pieces of coursework. This is an exciting opportunity for students to choose a particular area of language study to focus on and compare in both a non-literary and literary text.
