This course will help students develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the English Language GCSE exam.
This includes reading and understanding a wide range of non-fiction and fiction texts, critical evaluation and analysis of information and ideas. We will study appropriate use of quotation to support an argument, compare the way in which writers use language devices and structure to express ideas and influence readers, and learn how to use written communication clearly, effectively, and imaginatively, adapting tone, style and register to suit the intended audience.
The course will be based around the AQA GCSE English Language curriculum, and we will work with written extracts from the AQA syllabus that explore an exciting and flexible variety of subjects and themes. These will be adapted to accommodate the particular interests and preferences of the group.
We will use various learning methods throughout the course, including group discussion, mini-lectures, pair and small group activities, reading aloud, and audio-visual aids.
Also included is a one-hour complimentary sports session.
