Or how their viewpoints and perspectives can reshape how language is used. The words in our language can be applied in many ways and contexts. When used effectively, spoken and written words can be incredibly powerful and influential. Where English Literature studies the thematic content of works of verbal art such as novels, plays and poetry, English Language studies the use of words in a more scientific way.
It examines the sounds and structures of the many variations of English which are spoken and written worldwide. This will help you produce clear written work that can be adapted to any text you read in the future.
GCSE English Language is written by qualified subject specialists to stimulate and challenge students. No matter who you study with and which variation of the GCSE you study, it has been designed to enable you to develop the skills required to read, understand and analyse a wide range of diverse texts.
Most courses begin with a skills check to identify your current level of ability. This will indicate your areas of strength and potential areas for improvement. Going into the course content, you will study fiction from the 19 th century and non-fiction from the 20 th and 21 st centuries.
This will give you an insight into each of the centuries and an idea of how people thought, felt and lived at the time. Throughout the course you will build on these ideas, using narrative and descriptive techniques that will test and improve your ability as a creative writer.
Paper 1 - Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing - How writers use narrative and descriptive techniques to engage the interest of readers. Paper 2 - Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives - How different writers present a similar topic over time. You will also undertake a spoken language non-examination assessment.
This will assess your presenting ability, how you respond to questions and feedback. Whilst not contributing to the overall grade for the qualification, the spoken language assessment is given a separate mark and grade. Upon successful completion of the course, a GCSE English Language qualification allows you to progress onto further and higher education courses.
Should you meet all other relevant criteria. Critical reading and comprehension - Recognising and interpreting themes, ideas and information in various literature, fiction and non-fiction. Reading in different ways for different purposes, comparing and assessing the usefulness, relevance and presentation of content for these purposes.
Drawing inferences and justifying them with evidence. Backing up a point of view using evidence within the text. Finding bias and ill use of evidence, critically assessing and evaluating the text.
While using the context of the text and the knowledge and skills gained from wider reading to recognise there could be different responses to the text. Speaking and listening skills will involve group and individual assignments and will run throughout the course. They are organised in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere. In order to consolidate the skills taught, you will need to do directed study in your own time. You will need to sit two end of year exams in June consisting of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
You will also undertake a spoken language assessment. Your tutor will fully support you in your assessments. No, you do not require any other qualifications, however entry to this qualification will be based upon the results of an initial and diagnostic assessment that you will be required to undertake upon application.
This course is free to study providing you do not hold a grade 4 equivalent to grade C or above at GCSE level. You may decide to undertake further study either in further or higher education. If you would like to submit an application to study this course, simply fill in our online form here.
