What the college says

A Level English Language offers opportunities for students to develop their subject expertise by engaging analytically and critically with a wide range of texts and discourses. Students will produce texts and reflect critically on their own processes of production, while analysing the texts produced by others. There is also scope for students to pursue their own independent lines of enquiry and topics for writing, with support from their teachers, in the non-examination assessment. The topics and titles of the subject content include ‘Language, the Individual and Society’ focusing on individual and immediate social contexts for language, and ‘Language Diversity and Change’ working outwards to consider larger-scale public discourses about change and variety, drawing on regional, ethnic, national and global varieties of English giving an insight into how languages evolve all the time. On top of this, students also study how children acquire language and track their developments in spoken and written forms.
