Course Overview
This course equips students with the analytical and interpretative skills required to excel in I/GCSE English Literature exams. It focuses on building a deep understanding of literary texts while developing the ability to evaluate themes, characters, and contexts.
The course follows a modular approach—beginning with comprehensive text analysis, covering prose, poetry, and drama. Students will engage in guided discussions on literary techniques, contextual relevance, and thematic exploration. Skills such as essay writing, comparative analysis, and critical interpretation will be modelled and practiced using past papers and a variety of I/GCSE exam questions.
