What the college says

A Level English Language offers you the opportunity to develop subject expertise by engaging creatively and critically with a wide range of texts and discourses. You will create texts, while analysing the texts produced by others. You will explore English both as a medium of communication and as a topic in its own right, with an emphasis on pursuing lines of enquiry, debate different views, and work independently to research aspects of language in use. Language is seen as a creative tool for expression and social connection, as well as for understanding. The study of language as a symbolic system used to assert power in society is also fundamental to the subject.

You need five GCSEs at grade 9 - 4, including grade 9 - 5 in English. You should also enjoy both creative writing and the analysis of language in use.
