Studying AQA A Level English Language enables pupils to understand how language is used in both writing and speech. They explore how English has evolved, how children learn to speak and write, the relationship between words and who holds power, how the language is used around the UK and across the globe and how texts are produced for different purposes, including those we encounter everyday. Pupils are taught the skills needed to analyse a variety of discourses in depth and are encouraged to engage with a range of media to help them comprehend how English is still continuing to change.
Experience has shown that pupils who attain grade 7(A) or above in GCSE English do better at A Level.
The specification requires pupils to produce a coursework portfolio of two written tasks, including creative writing inspired by texts they have encountered during the course, which is worth 20% of the total mark, and two external examinations, worth 80%.
