What's on the course
- Oral Language
- Reading
- Writing
Each strand is organised around communicating, exploring and using language, and understanding language. Students study a range of texts: novels, drama (including Shakespeare at Higher Level), poetry, film and media, plus their own reading. They write for different purposes: narrative, persuasive, informative, descriptive, personal and functional (letters, reports, reviews).
How it's examined
CBA 1: Oral Communication (2nd Year). CBA 2: The Collection of the Student's Texts (3rd Year). Final written exam at Higher or Ordinary Level, built around unseen and studied texts, with questions on reading, responding to texts and writing.
Exam tips
Answer the exact question, back up each point with a short quotation or reference, and explain how it supports the point. In writing tasks, fit the genre, audience and purpose; plan, paragraph and proofread.
