Data analysis combined with theory application to prepare for A Level English Language, in particular the Year 1 exam. Includes three tasks all based around consolidating theory learning and data analysis skills. Task 1: glossary of 8 studies/ theorists to match up with what they did. Great revision activity, and once complete, bedrock of studies for students to learn for the exam. Task 2: an extract from a school newsletter attempting to ‘ban’ regional dialect, where students are required to think about the message this sends across, what theories relate to this, and then to plan/ write an essay using the data. Task 3: I have selected what I found to be four versatile studies and asked three thought provoking questions about them that open up discussion, encouraging students to say something meaningful about the theory, rather than just repeating what is in every textbook. The poster included complements the activities pack. It is a straightforward resource giving a bedrock of theories, can be used for reference, revision or to support class/ home work.

14 practice essay questions organised in a workbook format for A Level English Language. Includes an essay template for each question to guide students to structure an answer.
