Subject content

Students will draw upon a range of texts as reading stimulus and engage with creative as well as real and relevant contexts. Students will have opportunities to develop higher-order reading and critical thinking skills that encourage genuine enquiry into different topics and themes.

We can help students to read fluently and write effectively. Students will be able to demonstrate a confident control of Standard English and write grammatically correct sentences, deploying figurative language and analysing texts.

For GCSE English Language students should:

read fluently, and with good understanding, a wide range of texts from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, including literature and literary non-fiction as well as other writing such as reviews and journalism

read and evaluate texts critically and make comparisons between texts

summarise and synthesise information or ideas from texts

use knowledge gained from wide reading to inform and improve their own writing

write effectively and coherently using Standard English appropriately

use grammar correctly and punctuate and spell accurately

acquire and apply a wide vocabulary, alongside a knowledge and understanding of grammatical terminology, and linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language

listen to, and understand, spoken language and use spoken Standard English effectively.

Texts

GCSE English Language is designed on the basis that students should read and be assessed on high-quality, challenging texts from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Each text studied represents a substantial piece of writing, making significant demands on students in terms of content, structure and the quality of language.

The texts, across a range of genres and types, support students in developing their own writing by providing effective models.

The texts include literature and extended literary non-fiction, and other writing such as essays, reviews and journalism (both printed and online).

We can provide assistance for everything you need to prepare students for exams, including:

past papers, mark schemes and examiners’ reports

specimen papers and mark schemes for new courses

exemplar student answers with examiner commentaries

guidance in planning and writing cohesively

high quality revision guides
