A Level English Language

UPDATED 20161102 15:48:22

English Language is the study of how language works and how it is used differently by people to interact with others in both written and spoken contexts. It will encourage you to develop your interest in and appreciation of English through learning about its structures and functions and developments and variations. You will learn about relevant topics such as Language and Power and Language and Gender, thus enabling you to discover how social contexts affect our language use. At A Level, you will study our changing language history and how children acquire language, as well as exploring the influence of Language in the Media.
