It is a part of a suite of GCE qualifications offered by Edexcel.  \nKey features of the specification  \nExamination texts selected for choice, engagement and achievement  \nWhere texts are prescribed they are grouped for study in both expected and unexpected ways, offering a balance of familiar texts drawn from our literary heritage and texts that delight readers by being different, new and stimulating, providing English literature that is vibrant, healthy and capable of engaging students, generating enthusiasm and raising achievement.  \nFreedom of choice in coursework to ensure engagement and achievement  \nThe requirement for compulsory coursework has been addressed to provide maximum freedom of choice for teachers and maximum gain for students, recognising the time and care that coursework takes and acknowledging the merits of allowing independent critical and creative study and response. The specification offers maximum freedom for teachers to choose texts at Advanced Subsidiary and A2, including Shakespeare, to suit student interests and needs .  \nTexts  \nFrom time to time the list of set texts will be refreshed and new choices offered.  \nWhy choose this specification?  \nReinvigorating English Literature  \nEdexcel’s English Literature specification is designed to embrace the key lessons of the national debate that took place on‘Taking English Forward’, which gave teachers the opportunity to reinvigorate the teaching and study of English Literature, whilst valuing existing best practice. The specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills established at GCSE. There is clear progression from Advanced Subsidiary to A2: at Advanced Subsidiary level, the focus is on developing an understanding of  \ngenres; at A2 the study moves to independent interpretation and reflection. There is also clear progression from Advanced Subsidiary to A2 in styles of assessment, including the opportunity for students to respond creatively to texts .  \nSupporting you  \nEdexcel aims to provide the most comprehensive support for our qualifications . We have therefore published our own dedicated suite of resources for teachers and students written by qualification experts . We also endorse a wide range of materials from other publishers to give you a choice of approach.  \nFor more information on our wide range of support and services for this GCE in English Literature qualification, visit our GCE website: [www.edexcel.com/gce2008](www.edexcel.com/gce2008)  \nSpecification updates  \nThis specification is Issue 4 and is valid for examination from Summer 2014.
