What the college says

Whilst building on the skills of GCSE English Language, studying English Language at the next level is much more varied and exciting. It provides a wealth of opportunities for students to develop a range of skills that are and will always be relevant throughout their everyday lives. Students are encouraged to think analytically, delving beyond the surface meaning of texts by examining how writers use different language levels to construct them. Furthermore, not only do they explore written texts but also spoken language which in the modern era is equally important. How language differentiates us from other species and how it has changed over time are just some of the key ideas. Being able to work independently and having the confidence to justify their own views when responding to a wide range of language issues are further skills that students will develop on this course.
