A Level English Language is a varied, fascinating, and detailed study of the way language is and has been used and the continuing contextual factors which indicate and change its meaning. This qualification encompasses non- literary texts, spoken language, the vibrancy of linguistic variations and truly engages in language in all formats across all facets of society. In this A Level, students will develop a sophisticated understanding of the seven levels of language, such as lexis, pragmatics and semantics as well as consider how language can be influenced by power, technology, r gender. Furthermore, the course allows boys to study how language is acquired in children from the ages of 0-5 and how and why language has changed across centuries. It enables boys to write in a discursive and engaging manner on topical issues which will put them in good stead for accurate and appealing use of written language in the workplace. Boys also enjoy independent choice in the Language Investigation Task which allows for personal interests and hobbies to become part of the wider study and this section is often a truly enjoyable aspect of A Level study for boys. If you were to choose A Level English Language, you will be taught by passionate and expert practitioners who will seek to personalise the course to allow cohorts to flourish. There is also an annual trip within the Foundation to Beech House to allow boys to immerse themselves in the language of our younger students, which helps to solidify the theory learnt in Child Language Acquisition. It is worth noting that the A Level in this subject is significantly different from its GCSE counterpart and boys who choose this subject find it both refreshing and captivating in terms of its learning content.
