AQA's new A Level English Language offers opportunities for you to develop your subject expertise by engaging creatively and critically with a wide range of texts. The two year course comprises of three components, two of which are assessed by a terminal exam at the end and one non-exam assessment in which you will produce a language investigation and a piece of original writing. With exciting text and data based sources of language, this course introduces the study of English in forms and contexts. Offering clear skills progression from GCSE, this course allows you to build on the skills already gained and prepare for your next steps. The variety of assessment styles used, such as data analysis, discursive essays, directed writing, original writing and research-based investigative writing, allows you to develop a wide range of skills. These include critical reading, data analysis, evaluation, the ability to develop and sustain arguments and a number of different writing styles which are invaluable for both further study and future employment.
