(0)
This work can be used with students in Year 11 who are intending to study A-Level English Language. They can complete the tasks independently OR they could be used as part of an induction day OR as a general introduction to the course. All links and tasks are contained in one word document. The tasks focus on three areas of the course and include links to videos, articles and podcasts. ** 1. Child Language Acquisition** Students reflect on their own language development and conduct a ‘wugs’ experiment. ** 2. Language Variation.** Students consider their own attitudes to accents and dialects and conduct a mini investigation. There are also questions about podcasts which discuss the link between language and culture. Including the apparent disappearance of the Cockney dialect. ** 3. Language Change** There is a mini investigation with links to public information films. Students examine how language has changed over time. Also, after reading an article, students consider their own use of language in text messages.

GCSE English Non-Fiction Writing

8 Resources
There are 8 non-fiction tasks in this bundle. There is a Powerpoint lesson for each task and a student work book to accompany each lesson which includes a checklist and a suggested plan. The tasks cover a range of purposes, audiences, formats and tones. For each task, students fill in a checklist which they use when writing. The checklist can also be used for self or for peer assessment. Each task should take two lessons: one lesson to review the PAFT and plan a response and the second lesson for writing the task and self/peer assessment. As students become more confident identifying the features of PAFT, a task could be completed in one lesson. The lessons form a sequence so that students revisit the features of, for example, persuasive writing. By using the lessons in the given order, students are encouraged to review their own work and set up their own checklists and targets. The tasks are: Formal, friendly letter Light-hearted advice leaflet Serious newspaper article Formal speech Light-hearted magazine article Review Lively article Formal letter
