What the college says

This course brings together literary and linguistic study in an integrated approach to English. It includes the unique opportunity to compare literary texts with non-literary texts and analyse literary texts from a linguistic perspective. The course is designed around some key themes including 'Remembered Places', 'Imagined Worlds', 'Poetic Voices' and 'Exploring Conflict'. These topics encompass the study of all three literary genres, poetry, prose and drama, as well as non-fiction texts. Students will develop their analytical and creative writing skills in response to these texts. The course is divided into three main areas: Telling Stories, Exploring Conflict, and Making connections. This qualification is linear, which means that students will sit all of their exams at the end of the 2 year course. The study of English Language and Literature will enable you to: Critically evaluate written and spoken texts and the ways in which narratives are constructed for different audiences and contexts. Present an informed and persuasive opinion both orally and in writing. Develop detailed critical understanding and analytical skills. Evaluate the relationships between texts plus the significance of contextual factors. Write creatively for different audiences and purposes. English Language and Literature can be linked successfully with most other subjects. The most obvious links are with Media Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences, but equally many students enjoy studying this cours
