Studying your A-Level
The English Language A-Level course introduces you to the principals of advanced language study. You will develop your ability to write for different audiences, with different objectives in mind.
You will develop your writing and creative writing skills. This will be supported through exposure to different texts and discourses and a focus on aspects of textual variation.
This will feed into the writing and the study of language variation and attitudes to language, and as a creative tool for expression.
You will learn how to research and analyse text in order to support lines of enquiry, debate different views, and research aspects of language in use.
When you have completed this A-Level you will be able to draw academic insights from a range of fields within the study of English language/linguistics, including sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. You will also have demonstratable skills in the written form and creative writing.
Getting Started
learndirect is one of the UKs leading providers of online study.
All of our courses are online so you can start learning from the moment you enrol. No waiting for books in the post or term times.
You simply sign into your individual learner area on our student portal and away you go.
This allows you to structure your learning around your existing commitments, rather than being held to rigid timetables or attend evening classes.
