| The aims of the course at AS level are to develop confident, independent and reflective readers of a range of texts. Students will be encouraged to use critical concepts and terminology with understanding and discrimination. They will be expected to reflect on their own responses to texts, to consider other readers' interpretations and to develop some awareness of the contexts in which texts are written.
At A2 level students will broaden their knowledge, skills and understanding. They will be encouraged to use detailed knowledge and understanding of individual texts to explore comparisons and connections between them. They will learn to appreciate the significance of cultural and historical influences upon readers and writers.
English deals with ideas, attitudes and relationships. An understanding and appreciation of Literature is an excellent preparation for such careers as: Law, Journalism, Accountancy, Education, Civil Service, Nursing, Social Work, Retailing and Advertising.
