I have used this PowerPoint (around 115 slides) for an Easter revision session with year 13. It covers all aspects of the new 7702 AQA English Language course. It provides the following: an overview of each question an overview of assessment objectives for each individual question so students know what to include guidance on how to answer each question an overview of key terminology seen in band 5 in the specimen paper and June 2017 examiner tips for each question some model answers a ‘Guess Who’ style game for key theory for child language acquisition, accent and dialect, language and gender, language and occupation/power This is very clear and comprehensive and my students responded positively to it - it is an ideal revision resource. I make reference to an exam paper and the examiners report. I have not included them here as I did not make them and I am charging for this resource. I am happy to pass on the exam paper via email if you comment below. Hope this helps someone - it took a great deal of time to create!
