Why should I follow this course? Above all, because we hope you enjoy it! Our language is at the heart of so much of what we do: talking, thinking, reading and writing. A close study and analysis of language will encourage you to think deeply about yourself, about relationships with others, and about the way the world around you is constructed through spoken and written texts. Sharing thoughts and ideas with others and expressing yourself coherently are important processes. What will I learn? AS level Paper 1: Language, the individual and society. (50% of AS.)
