Free GCSE English Language Course in Ardwick. Classes run at Nicholls Campus, full-time during the day.
The course runs over one year. You'll study two papers, each with a clear theme linking reading and writing. One paper focuses on creative reading and writing, exploring how writers use narrative and descriptive techniques. The other develops your skills in reading non-fiction and writing for different purposes. You'll analyse texts, craft your own writing, and respond to a range of sources.
You'll finish with a GCSE in English Language.
The new GCSE specification offers the attraction of two papers, relating reading sources to the topic and theme of writing tasks. The reading sources act as stimulus for writing tasks, providing students with a clear route through each paper. Each paper has a distinct identity to better support high quality provision and engaging teaching and learning.
Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing, looks at how writers use narrative and descriptive techniques to engage the interest of readers. Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives, looks at how different writers present a similar topic over time. The approach to spoken language (previously speaking and listening) will emphasise the importance of the wider benefits that speaking and listening skills have for students. The endorsed unit will draw on good practice to suggest how engaging formative tasks can lead to a single summative assessment.
