English Language

Course summary

English Language A Level is an engaging, challenging and stimulating course. It is very different from GCSE English. It is not an opportunity for development of one’s general ability to use the language; it is the study of how others use language, both written and spoken, and the chance to explore areas of personal interest through writing. The course would lend itself to the study of Linguistics at university, or it would complement Modern Languages or English Literature courses. Career paths could include journalism and the media, law, politics, publishing or other jobs in which the use of language is key.
