English Language
Course summary
English Language provides students with the chance to comprehensively study a variety of different writing styles and techniques, as well as offering you the chance to develop your own writing skills. The English Language A Level enables students to explore how language is used, develops and helps create identity, how language is used differently based on gender, age or sexuality. Accents and dialects are also explored examining attitudes to spoken language. Other aspects of language such as child language development and language change are also studied. For example, how did we move from the language of Shakespeare to new additions to the dictionary such as ‘whatevs’ and ‘sumfin’?
