The AS level Literature module focuses on the Victorians and involves the study of the Brontes’ poetry and wider reading in Victorian literature. The Creative Study unit involves the study of novels and plays including Jane Eyre, A Doll’s House and The Importance of Being Earnest, assessed through the production of two pieces of coursework, one a piece of transformational writing, the other a comparison of two texts.
The modules at A2 level involve responses to unseen texts and an extended essay comparing a Shakespeare play with two other texts. The English Language AS focuses on analysing texts from a variety of contexts from travel writing to advertising, and creative writing in the form of magazine or newspaper articles. At A2 modules include Language Acquisition & Language Change and coursework on investigating aspects of language use.
We encourages students to develop their interest in English Literature through reading widely, critically and independently. Texts range across centuries, genre and gender.
Students are encouraged to become informed, independent readers of literary texts and gain an understanding of a variety of views about texts and how to read them.
