Version 1.1  \n1 Introduction  \n1.1 Why choose AQA for GCSE English Literature  \nA specification designed for you and your students  \nWe have worked closely with teachers to design our specification to inspire, challenge and motivate every student, no matter what their level of ability, while supporting you in developing creative and engaging lessons.  \nWe have developed assessment strategies that support students’ achievement in an untiered, closed book context through the use of extract-based questions in the assessment of the 19th-century novel and the Shakespeare plays.  \nChoice and flexibility  \nOur range of texts has been chosen to cater for the needs of teachers and students in all educational contexts. There are texts that will be familiar to you as well as new ones that will inspire young readers. A wide choice in each category means that there is something that will appeal to every teacher and every student.  \nSkills-based approach  \nThe specification takes a skills-based approach to the study of English literature that is consistent across the genres. Our experienced team has produced question papers and mark schemes that allow you to get back to inspirational literature teaching and allow students of all abilities to achieve their best on every question.  \nIt offers excellent preparation for AS and A-level English Literature, as well as giving students agrounding in a wide variety of literature that will stay with them for life.  \nTeach Language and Literature together  \nThe specification is fully co-teachable with GCSE English Language. Students who study both will greatly benefit from the transferable skills learnt across the two subjects.  \nWe’re behind you every step of the way  \nOur mark schemes and marking processes have been developed to ensure that the assessment is fair and consistent: with AQA you can rest assured that your students will receive the grade that fairly represents th","cbCaiqkXXspHndkQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqkXXspHndkQ","pdf",257923,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Why choose AQA for GCSE English Literature\n## Support and resources to help you teach\n# Specification at a glance\n# Subject content\n## Shakespeare and the 19th-century novel\n## Modern texts and poetry\n## Skills\n# Scheme of assessment\n## Aims and learning outcomes\n## Assessment objectives\n## Assessment weightings\n# General administration\n## Entries and codes\n## Overlaps with other qualifications\n## Awarding grades and reporting results\n## Re-sits and shelf life\n## Previous learning and prerequisites\n## Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion\n## Working with AQA for the first time\n## Private candidates","[{\"question\":\"What timeframes does this GCSE English Literature specification cover?\",\"answer\":\"It is for teaching from September 2015 onward and for exams in May/June 2017 onward.
