Unit 1:
This unit introduces students to how language is used across a range of different sources. Students will explore how the contexts of production and reception affect language choices in spoken and written language.
Students will explore how writers and speakers present themselves to their audiences, constructing identities through their language choices. They will also demonstrate their understanding by creating a new text.
By concentrating on what language does and how it varies to perform different functions, teaching can build on students’ prior knowledge from GCSE and International GCSE English Language and on their experience as language users.
Candidates answer two compulsory questions: one question from Section A and one question from Section B.

Unit 2:
This unit introduces students to the ways in which the English language can vary and change, with a focus on English in a global context and the role of English as an international language.
They will learn to explore and critically evaluate how language varies over time in relation to the mechanisms of language change, rather than the historical development of English.
Students answer two compulsory questions: one question from Section A and one question from Section B based on unseen transcripts. The unseen transcripts are presented in a Source Booklet for students.
