EnglishKey Stage 5 - Year 12 and 13AS English / LiteratureAS English literature builds on skills, knowledge and understanding previously gained at GCSE. The course involves wide, intensive reading to supplement research and essay work. Our aim is to foster awareness of the English literary canon in the wider cultural context of world literature, and therefore emphasis is placed upon cross-curricular study and so work from other disciplines is often drawn upon. Discursive skills are developed alongside communication and IT key skills in both oral participation within class and within structured comparative essays. At the end of the course students would be able to write confidently with a high level of understanding, creativity, familiarity and critical ability; using the appropriate register. The course involves group work, whole class teaching and directed research. Key Dates | | AS Tests 29 Nov-2 Dec 2004 | | AS Trial Exams 21-24 Feb 2005 | | AS External Exams May/June 2005 |
