A level English Language is a two-year course suited to those students who are interested in learning more about how language ‘works’. There is a strong theoretical element but much of the work is based on discussion, activities, and fieldwork. Students must be capable of dealing with concepts and need writing skills demonstrated by a minimum of grade 6 in their GCSE results. The course will explore some of the following: • Linguistic analysis of authentic texts • Original writing for a real-world purpose on a topical language issue • Analysis of how children acquire language • Language in the media • How language changes over time • An investigation into an area of each learner’s particular individual interest
Grade 6 or above in GCSE English
This is a skills based mark scheme. The specification in English Language is designed to encourage the development of analysing texts in context. You will prepare for the language exam, which will focus on the close reading and analysis of different kinds of writing.
