A & AS Level : English - Language (8693)

AS Level English is designed for students who can already communicate effectively in English as it may be their mother tongue or second language. The AS Level English syllabus enables students to achieve greater fluency, accuracy and confidence in the language as it is spoken and written, thereby also improving their communication skills. Students will learn how to improve their use of English in a variety of situations, understanding how to read texts and other source materials, and how to extract information, initiate conversations and respond to questions both orally and in writing.
