A Level in English Literature QAN code 60150464/5110 This two year course is a continuation of GCSE English Literature and is appropriate if you have a real love of literature and reading. It approaches the reading and study of literature through the lens of genre and theory, encouraging the independent study of a range of texts within a shared context, giving logic and meaning to the way that texts are grouped for study. Literary Texts: you will study eight literary texts; three of which are written pre-1900 and one published or performed post- 2000. The variety of assessment styles used - such as: passage-based questions, unseen material, single text questions, multiple text questions, open- and closed-book approaches - will allow you to develop a wide range of skills, including the ability to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake independent research.
A minimum of five GCSE passes at grades 4 or 5 including English Language and Maths. Students must then meet subject specific typical minimum entry requirements (listed below).
Component 1: Drama A written exam of 2 hours 15 minutes covering a choice of dramatic texts from a distinct period of time, from the genres of either tragedy or comedy. Component 2: Prose A written exam of 1hour, covering two texts from a chosen theme; for example, ‘Childhood. Component 3: Poetry A written exam of 2 hours 15 minutes covering a selection of poetry from either a distinct period of time, or a named poet e.g. Christina Rossetti. Coursework: An internally assessed piece of work in which you have free choice of two texts to study and compare. You will produce one extended comparative essay.
