Offering clear progression from GCSE English and English Literature, this course has been designed with a focus on the integration of language and literature, which enables students to see how linguistic and literary methods are related and to explore these links in their work. It incorporates a variety of assessment types, such as re-creative writing, commentaries, discursive essays and research-based investigative writing, allowing students to develop a wide range of skills, including the ability to read critically, analyse and undertake independent research, which are invaluable for further study and future employment.
