This is a two year A Level course. This course will introduce you to a range of major authors and critical commentaries on their work. A wide variety of texts from different periods of time will be studied which will allow you to develop further the analytical skills you acquired during your GCSE course. When the occasion arises, you will have the opportunity to extend your enjoyment and understanding of literature by attending university style lectures and theatre performances. You will be taught by highly qualified, enthusiastic practitioners who are passionate about their subject. The course is suitable for students who enjoyed and achieved in both English Literature and English Language at GCSE level. A genuine love of reading all forms of literature is essential, plus an enjoyment of expressing your views in detail as to how writers achieve their effects. To achieve success in this subject you need to be willing to share your opinions in discussion and be able to develop them at length in detailed, extended analytical essays. This course will help you develop your skills of self-discipline as you will be expected to complete both primary and secondary readings in and outside of class, conduct your own research into the historical context of your given texts and complete regularly assigned assessment pieces. As this subject requires essay writing, you need to be a confident writer, able to write coherently and accurately present your ideas using formal Standard English. The entry requirement is at least a C in both English Language and English Literature GCSE.Further information is available in our prospectus at www.uai.org.uk.
