We will study various linguistic frameworks (such as grammatical, graphological and semantic) and learn how to apply these to a very wide range of texts, both provided by the teacher and, for Coursework, chosen and researched by the individual student. This understanding will be used to inform and give rigour to the ways in which students themselves use language, both in class discussions and in the production of their own writing, creative and analytical.
The aim of the English Language course is to develop students’ interest in and enjoyment of English, through learning about its structures, functions, development and variations, and their ability to apply linguistic frameworks to a wide variety of texts, to investigate and research language use, and to express themselves with increasing confidence, accuracy and sophistication. We prepare students for two examinations at the end of the course: one worth 40% on Language, the Individual and Society, involving close analysis and comparison of texts and an essay exploring how young children’s knowledge of language develops; the other, also worth 40%, exploring Language Diversity and Change. The remaining 20% of assessment is comprised of Coursework, with one piece of creative writing plus analytical commentary, and a piece of Language Investigation research.
