Student revising for their A-level English language exam using revision resources

Whilst some skills from GCSE are carried through to A-level English language, a lot of the specification is new with key concepts, linguists and theories to learn. With November mocks around the corner, we have drawn together a collection of revision resources to support your students demonstrate critical understandings of concepts and issues, analyse and evaluate texts and ensure that responses and academic essays are underpinned by key linguistic concepts.
