The broad aim of this course is to develop critical and empathetic minds through the study of Literature. You will constantly be asked what your opinion and perspective is on a text and to appreciate the views of others whose experience has impacted the text throughout time. Discussion, in small or large groups, will form the major part of lessons where students will be able to articulate their opinions, argue their ideas as well as being able to challenge the opinions of others. Ideas discussed in class will inevitably be of use in the essays which students will be expected to submit at regular intervals. The course encourages pupils to explore aspects of a central literary theme as seen over time in ‘Love through the ages,’ using unseen material and set texts. In the ‘Texts in Shared Contexts’ module, pupils are encouraged to explore aspects of literature connected through a period of time, for example ‘Modern Times: literature from 1945 to the present day.’ There is a compulsory Shakespeare element at A Level, along with the opportunity to read and study a range of prose, poetry and drama texts. A love of reading is essential as pupils are expected to make links with their wider reading texts in the examinations. Successful completion of the Literature course will require a confident and competent grasp of more than just basic English skills on the part of the candidate. It cannot be over emphasised that the most successful entrants are those who contribute to discussion regularly and who demonstrate a willingness to have their own views examined critically by others. In every respect, the Literature course opens up a wonderfully rich experience to the keen, interested pupil. English Literature Advanced Level offers more than just a content based course - we offer a way of viewing literature which allows the pupil to reflect more generally on the influences affecting his or her daily life. In this respect, the course is an excellent preparation for coping with the rigours of college/university or the demands of a work environment where sensitivity to others is an essential component of successful communication and achievement. Considered a facilitating subject for Russell Group Universities.
