Course summary

English Language at A Level is very different to English Language at GCSE. At A Level you will study the way that language and communication underpin so many aspects of human society. You will study a very wide range of topics related to language including; possible gender differences; how and why language changes over time; how babies and children learn to speak and, later to read and write; and how language is used and adapted in different, real world contexts such as the workplace. You will learn how to analyse written and spoken language using a more rigorous linguistic framework and consider how language is used to represent people, places and ideas.
