Course Overview
Are you looking for personal development or get a job promotion? Perhaps you are looking for a career change or want to support your child at school or with their homework?
Our GCSE English Language course covers reading, writing and Speaking & Listening. We use a range of texts to stimulate your interest and develop crucial skills needed today in personal and professional situations. You'll analyse and compare language, structure and ideas of modern and 19th century writers and use your developing skills to create your own writing - both fiction and non-fiction. Developing your speaking skills both formal and informal is part of the course and you'll gain a separate certificate for this.
