Have you ever thought about the language you use, hear and see every day? Do you like magazines, newspapers, television or radio, and discussing your opinions about them? Would you like to develop some of the language skills you learned in GCSE English, without being tied to the study of heavy books and authors? In either case, you could well find the study of English Language at A-Level to be your ideal choice. This is a one or two-year course with the emphasis very firmly on the study of language in use. Students learn how to write clearly, concisely and accurately for a variety of purposes. Various aspects of style, language variety and the history of the English Language are studied by examining the language of, for example, newspapers, radio, advertising and various texts. Students can also do an investigation (of their own choice) into an aspect of language, and produce a folder of various types of writing. In addition to the written work, it must be emphasised that group discussion is an important part of the learning process in this course.
