English Language and Literature is an exciting course that allows students to consider how Language and Literature inform each other, rather than seeing them as separate entities. Creative minds will enjoy exploring a range of writing opportunities, while analysing a breadth of Literature alongside. The variety this course offers enables students to become original, critical and independent young people as they delve in to the imagination of some of our greatest writers and develop their own. In addition to looking at literary greats such as Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Shakespeare, students will study a range of non-fiction and non-literary material across the two year course. Language analysis will be taken further as students are expected to identify salient features through close focused study; students will then enrich their critical reading of the original pieces by writing their own re-creative work. The course will be assessed through both examination and coursework which will be complemented by student presentations, research projects, debates, lectures and creative writing opportunities. In addition, the curriculum is enriched through trips to the theatre and academic events. English Language and Literature students should be avid readers, not just of the core texts; they should read independently and widely in their own time. They should also have a love of creative writing, with flair and originality. Lessons will involve both individual and group work and students are encouraged to develop oral skills through debate and discussion.
