AS Level in English Language and Literature

UPDATED 20161019 13:01:38

This course is designed to allow students to investigate the way the two disciplines of language and literature work together. Students will read a wide range of literary and non-literary works such as poetry, novels, short stories, Shakespeare plays, journalism, letters and transcribed conversations. The texts reflect the way our world and our language have changed and adapted over time. In order to explore the texts fully, students will use a range of analytical approaches and will be introduced to key linguistic concepts. Through the coursework units, students are able to develop their own skills as writers and to reflect on their achievements. The staff's approach will be to encourage students to develop individual, sensitive and imaginative responses through group discussion, small group work, practical investigations, whole class teaching and individual tutorials. In Year 12, students study a wide range of literary and non-literary texts. For Paper 1, students prepare for examination by studying a novel with a focus on genre and point of view, and an anthology of poetry. For Paper 2, students prepare for examination by studying an anthology of non-fiction texts based on Paris. In the examination students will be expected to compare two texts as well as producing a piece of re-creative writing with a critical commentary.
