English Language A Level

Course Overview

English Language at A Level provides students with a unique opportunity to see their own language and methods of communication in a completely different light whilst developing essential critical thinking skills. Within the context of its long history of development we look at how our language creates, reflects and represents our identity and culture through analytical and sociolinguistic study.

Over the two-year course you will explore a wide range of genres, texts and discourses to consider how language constructs and conveys ideas about the world around you. You will also study how we acquire language as children, how it is influenced by geography, ethnicity, gender, age and class and how it has changed over time and continues to change here, and throughout the world.

 






"Language is both a creative tool for expression and a means for social connection. By studying A Level English Language you’ll develop a critical awareness of the world around you as well as refining your communication and analytical skills to navigate through your professional and personal life"
