A Level English Language and Literature 18 months

A Level English Language & Literature combines literary and linguistic study. You will study a wide variety of different texts from a literary as well as a linguistic perspective. Non-literary and digital texts are studied as you learn about the creation of voice and how to technically analyse it. You will also learn about how literary writers use structure, form and language to create particular effects in their work. The A-level involves producing two pieces of original writing based on your study of one fictional text and one non-fictional. You will produce one piece of fictional writing and one piece of non-fiction, along with an analytical commentary in which you reflect on the texts you have studied and your original work.
