A Level English Language activities to help students become more confident with using theories and studies for the first year exam especially. Task 1: card sort activity with 11 theorists and their theories. Great revision activity, and, once complete, little glossary of AO2 for students to refer back to. Task 2: Jargon activities, main task being to read an article from the guardian (useful overview) and use it as data to write an essay/ or to write an opinion article on the use of jargon. Task 3: a transcript of a doctor/ patient conversation where students should apply the theories to what is being said. Great way to consolidate theories and to think about how occupational language is used and how it affects people outside the group. There is also an essay opportunity. 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.
