What the college says

A Level English Language is the study of linguistics. It is very different to GCSE English Language. Students considering English Language as an advanced level choice must have a developed and inquisitive interest in how language is used within historical and social contexts. Areas of study cover such things as how gender, ethnicity, occupation and age influence language. Because of this, students must be established, confident and creative readers of texts both in and out of the classroom. A high ability to write sustained analytical and discursive essays in timed conditions is required due to the nature of examinations. In addition, investigative skills are essential for the production of the non-examination assessment module.
