English Language and Literature

Course summary

English Language and Literature is a very useful course in terms of the skills that you will be developing throughout. The most useful thing that the course will do is to make you a better writer: academically, creatively and analytically your writing skills will be honed which will help you with all of your other subjects and further study immensely. Your skills of close-reading and analysis will also improve. The reason to study this A Level rather than Literature is that this A Level affords a much broader range of texts: digital, media and non-fiction texts as well as traditional literary ones. There is also more of a creative focus in this course.
