Description

  • Type

    Course

If you’re the sort of person who walks past a billboard and thinks, “That’s a good pun”, then this is the course for you, because A-Level English Language is concerned with the ways language is used in the world around us today. You’ll look at such topics as how the media and politicians choose their words to make us think and behave in certain ways or how our language is adapted when it’s used on Facebook or Twitter. The subject appeals to people who think logically and who are willing to take an almost scientific interest in language. It has close connections with Sociology, Psychology and Media Studies.

About this course

You will need 5 GCSEs at grade C or above, including maths, and you will need to have achieved grade B in GCSE English.
