English Language is a flexible and adaptable subject in which your opinions and responses matter. You will learn to think critically and to define language; specialist terminology will enable you to communicate your ideas effectively. English Language also gives you the opportunity to develop your writing skills and further your knowledge of the spoken word. We all need to communicate and express ourselves coherently; it is difficult to think of many degrees and occupations where such a skill is not essential. Typically, students of English Language have careers in the law, the media, journalism, management, human resources, speech therapy and teaching, among many other opportunities.
Our Sixth Form entry also requires an interview with the Heads of Sixth Form, after which a conditional offer will be made and will be dependent upon agreed GCSE grade requirements. Our standard requirement is Grade 6 or above in the chosen A-Level subjects (or relevant subject), Grade 5 or above in English and Maths and Grade 4 or above in non-related GCSE subjects.
There are three A Level Units for the English Language course: • Unit 1: Language, the Individual and Society; as well as revisiting textual variations and diversity, children’s language development (0-11 years) is also studied. (Exam: 40%). • Unit 2: Language Diversity and Change; extends the study of language diversity into language change (Exam: 40%) In both papers, writing skills and language analysis methods are tested. • Unit 3: Language in Action; for which students produce a language investigation and piece of original writing. (20%).
