Why Study English Language?♦ AS/A Level English Language has been offered to pupils at

Penweddig for the last seven years. We’re very proud of thiscourse as few local educational institutions give youngpeople the chance to study English Language as well asEnglish Literature at A Level.

♦ Examination results are very good and it is generallyrecognised that a qualification in English Language testifiesto good communication and analytical skills.

♦ You should consider this course if you enjoy reading andwriting and like to analyse people’s use of the written andspoken word.

♦ Pupils who choose to study mathematics and sciencesometimes opt to do English Language as a fourth subject.

♦ It is also possible to study English Language alongsideEnglish Literature. Other pupils, who have decided tospecialize in Modern Foreign Languages, have valued theEnglish Language course for its emphasis on grammaticalanalysis.

Possible Future Areas for Study♦ It’s a qualification which is particularly suited for those

interested in the media, especially journalism. Manyuniversity courses in English include aspects of EnglishLanguage as well as Literature or you could choose to studylinguistics.

♦ Indeed the study of English Language is a good basis for awide range of courses and careers and this no doubt explainsthe popularity of the course in the school.

♦ Of course not everyone goes on to university, but fewemployers would want to dismiss a candidate with provenskills in the English language.
