The Edexcel A-level course seeks to answer these questions and more by taking you on an exciting journey of language through time, space and social contexts. It will start by giving you the tools for the job: the language levels. These methods of analysis (ranging from phonetics to grammar) will make you an expert at analysing the different aspects of language. No more will you fear the ‘bogey monsters’ of grammar, complex sentences and the passive voice! You will become familiar enough with these concepts to debate with your peers the finer points of language choices that writers and speakers make. In this respect, the analysis you undertake will build upon your GCSEs but also delve much deeper by addressing language in all its rich diversity. This course will appeal to students who have an interest in different times, places and people. You will learn to understand how a text’s context (social, cultural and historical) has had an effect on its creation and how it can be received; you will be provoked to debate and discuss the meaning of newly created words and how they enter the public consciousness; you will appreciate why and how particular forms of language are chosen for particular purposes; you will become alert to all forms of communication – written, spoken, unspoken, all around you – and never see language in the same way again! This course is rigorous, exciting and highly regarded and would suit those considering careers in the media, public relations, law, psychology and teaching, to name just a few.
For automatic entry into A-level Maths, a grade 8 at GCSE is required. For automatic entry on A-level Science courses, a grade 8 in GCSE Maths and the relevant Science subject is required. Those who don’t achieve a grade 8 may only be permitted onto their chosen courses after discussion with a member of SLT. For students to gain automatic entry into any other A-level subjects, they are required to achieve at least a grade 7 at GCSE in the relevant subject. For subjects which are new at A-level, the following GCSE grades will be used as the best indicators for potential success in the subject and therefore are required for automatic entry:
Assessment is conducted via examination: component one focuses on language variation and component two on child language acquisition. In addition, you will be able to select an area of expertise for an investigative study, the materials for which are pre-released. Your ability to craft language and write creatively for different audiences is also tested via coursework.
