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

Our English Language and Literature 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 components of the AS course have equivalent elements in the full A Level: the study of poetry and prose fiction is based on the same set texts as for A Level, and the OCR/EMC anthology of non-fiction written and spoken texts is a set text for both groups of students.

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.
