In English Language and Literature, A-Level students learn to approach a significant range of texts from linguistic and literary points of view. A significant part of the course fosters a sensitivity to language designed to furnish you with the skills to understand how writers work within and against literary traditions and how to handle ideas of a non-literary mode. This will make your study and conclusions about texts sophisticated and develop discernment of the ways language operates across a series of literary and linguistic contexts, providing an excellent introduction to all the possibilities of studying English at a higher level. Your study of a diverse range of literary genres throughout the course leads to considerations of points of view, genre and structure, while studies of non-fiction texts explore the representation of place and encourage you to respond imaginatively and shape material through re-creative writing and self-reflective commentary. Integrated linguistic and literary concepts and methods are integrated into all taught content and will underpin your appreciation of how historical/ cultural location affects our understanding of literature. Students should choose this course if they enjoy demonstrating creativity in the use of English to communicate in different ways, and reading a wide range of texts through a critical lens.
