LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE The syllabus aims: 1) to encourage and develop the enjoyment and appreciation of literature in English, based on an informed personal response, and 2) to develop the ability to analyse and discuss that response and the texts which produced it, in a cogent, organised manner.

Marking Criteria written exam and classroom assignments (DS) Answers are assessed on a Key Point scale. KP20 - Work of Distinction / Very good KP17 - Very Good / Good KP14 - Good / Satisfactory KP11 - Passable / Basic KP8 - Elementary / Inadequate standard

Objectives The examination assesses the candidates' response to literature by allowing them to display: Knowledge: of the works studied and the historical and personal contexts in which they were written; Understanding: extending from simple factual comprehension to a recognition and conception of the nature and significance of literary texts and the issues and ideas which they raise; Analysis: the ability to develop and explain their response, and to identify and describe literary effects;

Judgement : the capacity to make critical assessments and judgements of value based on close reading; the capacity to answer questions on specific aspects and features of a text by selecting relevant material for discussion; Cultural Awareness : the ability to appreciate the character and significance of texts produced in a language and culture which may not be their own; Expression : the ability to express, in fluent and effective English, ideas, opinions and responses in organised and cogent essays on literary subjects - probably (although not compulsorily) following the characteristics of a formal written register; the ability to engage in an informed literary discussion.
