Overview
The CCEA GCE English Literature specification encourages students to be independent, imaginative, critical and analytical readers. It aims to increase their enjoyment of reading across three key genres: prose, poetry and drama.
Students have opportunities to engage both with set texts and with texts of their own choosing. They explore various writers’ presentation of ideas and the impact of their work on contemporary and modern readers.
Students also learn how to develop their ability to research, plan and prepare their responses using their own ideas and interests, as well as critical reading.
This specification is available at two levels: AS and A2. Students can take the AS units plus the A2 units for a full GCE A level qualification. They can also choose to take the AS course as a stand-alone qualification.
The specification has five units:
- Unit AS 1: The Study of Poetry 1900–Present and Drama 1900–Present
- Unit AS 2: The Study of Prose Pre 1900
- Unit A2 1: Shakespearean Genres
- Unit A2 2: The Study of Poetry Pre 1900 and Unseen Poetry
- Unit A2 3: Internal Assessment.
