A-Level – English Lit and Language
Our A-level English Language and Literature specification draws on the academic field of stylistics to create an integrated English Language and Literature course. We bring literary and non-literary discourses together and explore the creation of meaning in written and spoken texts through both analytical and creative writing. Text choices offer a fresh and stimulating approach to learning, enabling learners to develop the analytical tools to explore language choices in detail and to become confident and insightful readers. A level learners will develop their skills as producers and interpreters of language through independent study and wider reading in an area of particular personal interest, offering excellent preparation for study at undergraduate level.
