<p>I’ve created a comprehensive set of notes for every topic in A Level English Language. There are 9 pages here full of theorists, linguists, facts, stats, examples, real world application and more. I used these notes only alongside practice questions &amp; achieved an A* in 2017.</p> <p>Why they work:</p> <ul> <li>Easy to learn, concise, bullet point revision notes</li> <li>Omitted endless details on methodology and results</li> <li>Replaced these with <strong>meaningful comments on each study</strong> to form the basis of your argument in the exam (crucial to enter top bands!)</li> </ul> <p>Summary sheet includes:</p> <ul> <li>theories and models of change i.e. S curve, semantic reclamation, descriptivism/ prescriptivism, damp spoon/ crumbling castle/ infectious disease, substratum theory, wave model, functional theory</li> <li>metaphors for change and language discourses</li> <li>a table of linguists and their studies, findings, opinions (really useful to refer to)</li> <li>detailed breakdown of debate over whether language change is a process of evolution or decay</li> <li>texting and change</li> <li>how new words cause change</li> <li>politcal corrrectness and change</li> <li>technology and language change</li> <li>outline of answer to essay question ‘discuss how new words enter the language’</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/language-and-diversity-summary-sheets-aqa-a-level-english-language-11972594">Notes for all six topics in A Level English Language</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-language-exemplar-responses-aqa-a-level-new-spec-11874400">Model essays for all topics in A Level English Language </a></p> <p>Check out my shop for more: <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/astarlevels">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/astarlevels</a></p>

This presentation covers a range of topics including language development, connotation, denotation, semantics, language and gender, language and race. It ends up focusing on how words can make such a difference through the meanings we apply to them based on context and culture.

<p>A full 14 slide PowerPoint breakdown of language and linguistic features with examples.<br /> PowerPoint can be used as an introduction to: creative, descriptive or narrative writing.<br /> PowerPoint can be used as a reflection or revision tool to recap language features and to develop the craft of writing effectively.</p>

<p>Example student written model articles on gender, accent &amp; dialect, social group/ sociolect &amp; occupation.</p> <p>Why they work:</p> <ul> <li>Top band articles show how to balance engaging style with linguistic theories</li> <li>Ideas of headlines, straplines &amp; openings</li> <li>Use as a style model for <em>your</em> future (brilliant!) articles!</li> </ul> <p>I also made a resource with a headline, strapline &amp; engaging opening for every topic that you could be required to write an article on. This is a great tool for students to avoid wasting time starting articles and getting straight on with it. <a href="http://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/opinion-article-revision-a-level-english-language-11683007">Find it here</a></p>

<p>Lang/Lit courses are often quite vague on which devices and approaches should be explored, and students always want a clear list of what they need to learn.<br /> I have pared back the amount of approaches and devices for my groups to allow them maximum depth of understanding, as opposed to feature-spotting with too broad a palette. This list is not extensive, but suitable for candidates studying Language and Literature combined courses of all abilities.<br /> Used for OCR, but would work for all boards.</p>

30+ page booklet which gives a brief overview of:<br /> <br /> • Lexis<br /> • Syntax<br /> • Grammar<br /> • Semantics<br /> • Pragmatics<br /> • Cohesion<br /> • Morphology<br /> • Phonology<br /> • Graphology<br /> <br /> Includes some activities and a glossary to be completed by the student.

<p>An interesting lesson for the ‘thinkers’ of your class. This is a free sample resource to get students talking about how language can affect the world around us.
