Course summary

● A Level English Language is not English Literature. They are very different. ● A Level English Language is not GCSE English. It will be a new subject and you will have very little prior knowledge. ● A Level English Language is not for people who ‘like English but don’t like reading or writing’. You will have to read around the topics, the exams are written and the coursework requires extended writing and reading. The best way of understanding English Language is to look at the course: Paper 1 Section A - Analysis of a short text focussing on vocabulary and grammar Section B - Creating a media text on a topical language issue Section C - Comparing two texts, one of which will be spoken Paper 2 Section A - Child Language Acquisition Section B - Language and the Media Section C - Historical Language Change Coursework Investigation into a language area of the student’s choosing and the creation of an academic poster to display the findings.

Entry requirements
