A-Levels - English Language

Program Description

This A Level takes a forensic approach to analysing spoken, print and online language.  

Students will develop an analytical toolkit of grammatical terminology and linguistic theories that will enable them to dissect any text. Year two includes spoken language and language over time modules, plus an independent research project. 

We focus on how language reflects and constructs power in our world and examine how people adapt language to suit different purposes and contexts. Students will also write in a variety of genres and learn how to use their toolkit to analyse their own writing.
