If you love nothing better than curling up with a good book, then this is the course for you. During the two year English Literature course, students will immerse themselves in a variety of literary forms, including prose, drama and poetry, from a range of time periods. Students will develop a variety of skills such as the ability to analyse and evaluate different readings of set texts alongside developing insight into how the cultural/contextual factors of a text impact upon both writer and reader. Many of the skills demonstrated at GCSE will also be further developed, such as the ability to analyse how writers utilise structure, form and language in order to create meanings/effects. Methods of Study Lessons are classroom based with opportunities for paired/group work and presentations. Essay writing and analysis are key components of the course. Outside of lessons, students will be expected to carry out independent reading of the set texts alongside relevant literary criticism. Career Applications Due to the analytical and communication skills which this course develops, students will have a variety of career paths available to them. Careers which the course can lead to include: publishing, journalism, writing, teaching, PR and law.
