In the second year the focus is on comparison and adaptation. You will learn how to complete a comparative analysis of three types of unseen text, as well as being able to take a text and change the form it uses, adapting other features to fit with its new purpose and audience. You will also complete an individualised piece of writing in the coursework task that is marked by your tutor and externally moderated by the awarding body. This will be a rigorously academic essay in which you will explore an aspect of two texts (at least one poetry) chosen from a list that your tutor will provide. Evidence of drafting is a requirement of this work and you will refine and develop excellent formal writing skills that are highly transferable and will serve you well at university and in employment. An A Level in English Language and Literature is valued by both higher education establishments and employers, since it is evidence of both a high level of literacy and the ability to think analytically. Future careers and professions include: teacher, author, publisher, librarian, lawyer, journalist and media related roles.
