AQA A Level English Literature Specification A (legacy)

La5c: literary connections coursework, final coursework re-takes: january 2010.

These are texts that have produced interesting work for this unit. It is not an exclusive list nor are these 'approved' texts - candidates are free to select from the wide range of suitable works, as explained on the LA5C page . It is important, in addition, that the task is carefully focused - which is why both texts and tasks need to be approved in advance by your moderator.

Some texts have links to Amazon to provide you with more details, but as there are over 100 pairings here, completing this task will take some time! You can use the search box on the left to locate editions. Meanwhile, please send in any further suggestions of your own.

A-level English Literature A 7712

English Literature A AS and A-level Specification Specifications for first teaching in 2015

PDF | 768.41 KB

1.0 Introduction

1.1 why choose aqa for a-level english literature a, a specification designed for you and your students.

We have worked closely with teachers and universities to develop a relevant, engaging and up-to-date specification that approaches the study of literature through the lens of historicism, encouraging the independent study of a range of texts within a shared context, giving logic and meaning to the way that texts are grouped for study.

This unifying approach facilitates the inclusion of a range of wider reading, thus extending students’ experience and appreciation of literature.

Offering clear progression from GCSE, this course allows students to build on the skills and knowledge already gained and prepare for their next steps.

The variety of assessment styles used, such as passage-based questions, unseen material, single-text questions, multiple-text questions, open- and closed-book approaches allows students to develop a wide range of skills, such as the ability to read critically, analyse, evaluate and undertake independent research which are valuable for both further study and future employment.

Choice and flexibility

With a variety of genres and authors, you can choose the texts that will be most appealing and of most interest to your students.

Teach AS and A-level together

Both AS and A-level courses provide strong stand-alone qualifications that are fully co-teachable so that you can choose the approach that best suits your, and your students’, needs.

Independent learning

The A-level non-exam assessment component provides opportunities for students to pursue their own areas of interest and develop personal and independent learning skills.

We support you every step of the way

Our free poetry anthologies, also available digitally, will provide you with easy access to a range of poetry texts and a valuable interactive resource to support teaching.

To further support teaching and learning, we provide a comprehensive range of resources including a resource bank and access to the largest network of English teachers facilitated through our national subject advocate network.
