A2 Level English Language The course is designed to ensure that students become expert linguists through development of a wide ranging understanding of the way that language is used not only to communicate but also to create identity. Through the study of language students will develop research and investigation skills along with enquiring minds regarding the nature of English language. Areas of study will include: language and identity; language and gender; language and power; language and journalism; child language acquisition and language and regional variations. As well as studying how language is used today we will also look at language variation from the beginnings of early modern English to today, and understand why English language is a constantly evolving entity. In the second year the internally assessed unit involves creating a portfolio of original writing, which allows students to use their knowledge gained of English language to manipulate language for effect. They will also have to carry out research on an area of language to consolidate their knowledge of language to form a response in an examination.
