I’ve created a comprehensive set of notes for every topic in A Level English Language. There are 3 pages full of theorists, linguists, facts, stats, examples, real world application and more. I used these notes only alongside practice questions & achieved an A* in 2017. Why they work: Easy to learn, concise, bullet point revision notes Omitted endless details on methodology and results Replaced these with meaningful comments on each study to form the basis of your argument in the exam (crucial to enter top bands!) Includes: Petytt H dropping test Trudgill ing/in’ test Watson on young people & the scouse dialect - reference to language and identity Cheshire playground use of non std variants Slang Slang in the past i.e. Dickens and HG Wells Snell on sociolingusitics Halliday on slang 2013 election Eckert Swales Stormzy & grime Notes for all six topics in A Level English Language Model essays for all topics in A Level English Language Check out my shop for more: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/astarlevels

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.

Example student written model article on world & nonstandard English Why they work: * Top band article shows how to balance engaging style with linguistic theories * Idea of headlines, straplines & openings * Use as a style model for your future (brilliant!) articles! I also made a resource with a headline, strapline & engaging opening for every topic that you could be required to write an article on. This is a great tool for students to avoid wasting time starting articles and getting straight on with it.
