2 Year Courses - English Language

AS-level and A-level

In English Language, students will analyse a variety of texts considering purpose, form and audience as well as exploring the relationship between language and social contexts.

Part of this course will include formal grammar teaching as well as an AS coursework module where students write their own texts and analyse the craft and process of writing. In the second year of the course, students will undertake their own research project into an aspect of language of their choice. This could be on anything from child language acquisition to exploring how men and women speak to one another

Coursework: 40% AS - 40% A2

Examination / Assessment

There is one coursework module and two modules which are assessed by an examination in each year of the course.
