This is a fully integrated course where you will use both linguistic and literary approaches to texts, showing how the two disciplines can relate to each other. You will participate in a whole range of activities and writing assignments, contribute to group discussions, presentations and a wide variety of teaching and learning activities. You need to have an interest in how language is used in a wide variety of spoken and written texts, and a desire to analyse its usage critically and rigorously. Whilst you will continue to develop the English Language and English Literature skills you learnt at GCSE you will also learn some completely different skills such as, reading literary texts whilst developing and applying your knowledge of literary analysis and evaluation. Your study will also be enhanced by paying close attention to the ways texts relate to each other and the contexts in which they are produced and received. You will study a wide range of genres and engage in substantial literary study. You need to read to succeed on this course, so an interest in reading and a willingness to read independently alongside the set class texts is essential.
