A Level
The English Language AS and A level course will help you to develop your skills in both reading and writing. A key element of the course is the analysis of a wide range of texts, from text messages and fairy tales to legal documents and transcripts of conversations. At AS you will also learn how language operates in society; you will study how men and women use language differently, how language is used to gain power and you will analyse the language of technology. AS English Language will also give you the opportunity to develop and analyse your own writing for different audiences and purposes. At A2 you will learn about how language changes over time, how babies and children learn their fi rst language and you will conduct your own language investigation into a language topic of your choice.

English Language is great. It gives you the opportunity to see where your language has developed from.

GCSE
Our 1 year GCSE is great fun and the best thing about it is that there’s no more Shakespeare and no more poetry! During the year we study some interesting non-fi ction texts and we develop your skills to write for different purposes and audiences. The Speaking and Listening assessments encourage you to take part in lively discussions and role plays but the most fascinating element of the course is the study of spoken language. We will record and analyse lots of people speaking in different situations and we will study the things that infl uence how we talk the way we do.
