In your previous studies you have learnt important language skills such as the ability to discuss, debate and analyse, to read and understand texts, and to write in a variety of forms for different purposes.

In your A Level course you will build on and develop these skills in a number of ways. For example, you will produce some original writing based on storytelling, persuading or informing, and you will read and explore different text types. But in addition to this, you will learn a range of different skills to help you describe and analyse language itself, and you will acquire an analytical toolkit that will enable you to explore and explain any text.

In short, you will learn how to think and act like a linguist, someone who explores language and the contexts in which it is produced in a coherent and methodical way.
