AS and A Level English Language: How the qualifications are co-teachable

Our English Language AS and A Level courses are fully co-teachable, enabling teachers to deliver the AS independently or as the first year of two-year A Level course.

Both courses seek to develop the textual analysis skills of students when reading a variety of linguistic texts. As a consequence there is a significant overlap between the 2 courses and while there is a clear distinction between the assessment methods of the 2 courses, preparation for the AS exam is also a useful building block for the full A level.

Specific guidance on all of the combined elements is available in our co-teaching guide that also features a sample curriculum plan detailing how the course content can be effectively split over 1 or 2 years.
