English Language Analysis

This excellent resource gives you everything you need to teach students how to analyse writers’ use of language. The contents are:

1. A 70-slide PDF presentation on Language Analysis – this presentation examines three literary extracts in detail, showing students exactly how to identify techniques, plan their answer and write a structured, comprehensive response to a Language Analysis question. It contains model answers for the first three extracts and also contains an additional three extracts for students to examine and create their own answers.

2. Student Extract Booklets – these three booklets are differentiated: Booklet 3 is for less able students and contains an annotated version of the extracts with hints as to what language features are used in each one. Booklet 2 is for more able students and each page contains hints on the language features. Booklet 1 is for the most able students and features the unannotated version of the extract without any helpful hints.

3. Teacher’s Master Copy – for your convenience, this is a more compact version of the student booklets, containing all six extracts and three model answers.

Also available is a version of this resource tailored specifically to AQA students, containing lots of helpful information about the Mark Scheme for the Language Analysis questions.

I hope these resources are helpful for you and instructive for your students – as always, I’d be delighted to hear any feedback you may have.
