Welcome to your second year of the English language A level. This will be a jam-packed year and there is lots of new material to cover to re-cap from last year, so we need to hit the ground running.
The pace of this year will be very different to last year. Whereas last year was about establishing a good working knowledge of grammar and linguistic theories, this year we will need to actually apply that to your writing, as well as covering two new (fairly large) topics, Child Language Acquisition which we started at the end of Year 1, and Language Change. Additionally, you will need to manage your language investigation for your coursework which we will be doing some work on during Thursday's lesson.
For now, you need to ensure that you have all of the following links accessible on your own blogs. These will help you in both your exam preparation and coursework completion:
