This course develops skills to engage creatively and independently with a variety of spoken, written and multi-modal texts. Designed with a focus on the integration of language and literature, these specifications enable students to see how linguistic and literary methods are related and to explore these links in their work. Offering clear skills progression from GCSE, these courses allow students to build on the skills and knowledge already gained and prepare for their next steps. The variety of assessment styles used, such as re-creative writing, commentary writing, discursive essays and research-based investigative writing, allows students to develop a wide range of skills. These include the ability to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake independent research, which are invaluable for both further study and future employment. If you enjoy producing your own writing such as short stories, drama scripts, newspaper reports and speeches, and have a genuine interest in different types of literature, then this course is for you! The course provides an exciting way of looking at both Language and Literature. Rather than seeing them as separate entities, you will be looking at how each informs the other.
