What will I study?

GCSE English Language is an essential qualification needed to access higher education and employment.

Studying this GCSE course will allow you to investigate and analyse the English language and you will explore how writers use it to create specific effects. You will develop your own writing skills, looking at how to use language imaginatively, and how to adapt your written and spoken language for different situations and audiences. You will develop your speaking and listening
skills by delivering a formal presentation to an audience and asking and responding to questions.

This GCSE English Language course at TRC will offer you a new approach to the qualification. It will provide you with the learning that you need to attain a GCSE in English Language and it will give you the skills that can be applied to your other subjects, making you a far more effective and successful learner.

Assessment

Careers
