It is part of a suite of GCE qualifications offered by Edexcel.  \nKey features of the specification  \nAn integrated approach  \nThe requirement to provide an integrated approach means that students will study a wide range of spoken, written and multimodal texts viewed as part of a continuum of ways of constructing meanings through language. Imaginative and engaging choices of texts and topics will allow teachers to gain student interest, generate enthusiasm and raise achievement. As observers, readers and writers, students will be inspired by learning about spoken and written language from real and imagined worlds and they will engage with the craft of writing to create their own texts at both AS and A2 .  \nCoursework freedom of choice, to ensure engagement and achievement  \nThe requirement for compulsory coursework has been addressed to provide maximum freedom of choice for teachers and the maximum gain for students, recognising the time and care that coursework takes and acknowledging the merits of allowing independent study and creative response.  \nTexts  \nFrom time to time set texts will be refreshed and new choices offered.  \nWhy choose this specification?  \nReinvigorating English Language and Literature  \nEdexcel’s English Language and 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 Language and Literature whilst valuing best practice. The specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills established at GCSE and provides clear progression from AS to A2 both in content and in styles of assessment.  \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 Language and Literature qualification, visit our GCE website: [www.edexcel.com/gce2008](www.edexcel.com/gce2008)  \nSpecification updates  \nThis specification is Issue 3 and is valid for examination from Summer 2014. If there are any significant changes to the specification Edexcel will write to centres to let them know. Changes will also be posted on our website.  \nFor more information please [visit www.edexcel.com/ or www.edexcel.com/gce2008](visit www.edexcel.com/ or www.edexcel.com/gce2008)  \nPearson Edexcel Level 3 GCE in English Language and Literature © Pearson Education Limited 2013 Introduction  1   \nA  Specification at a glance 4  \n B  Specification overview 7  \n Summary of assessment requirements 7   Assessment objectives and weightings 8   Relationship of assessment objectives to units 8   Qualification summary 8   \n C  English Language and Literature unit content 11  \n Course structure 12   Unit 1 Exploring Voices in Speech and Writing 13   Unit 2 Creating Texts 17   Unit 3 Varieties in Language and Literature 27   Unit 4 Presenting the World 31   \n D Assessment and additional information 41  \n Assessment information 41   Additional information 45   \n2 Contents © Pearson Education Limited 2013 Pearson Edexcel Level 3 GCE in English Language and Literature  \nE  Resources, support and training 49  \n Resources to support the specification 49   Edexcel’s own published resources 49   Edexcel publications 50   Additional resources endorsed ","cbCairHOMN3VzxWP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairHOMN3VzxWP","pdf",823756,72,"English","# About this specification\n## Key features of the specification\n## Why choose this specification?\n## Supporting you\n## Specification updates\n# A Specification at a glance\n## AS Unit 1: Exploring Voices in Speech and Writing\n## AS Unit 2: Creating Texts\n## A2 Unit 3: Varieties in Language and Literature\n## Unit 4 Presenting the World\n# Assessment and additional information\n# Resources, support and training\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the GCE English Language and Literature Issue 3 specification?\",\"answer\":\"It sets out the structure, key features, and assessment requirements for the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 GCE in English Language and Literature qualification.\"},{\"question\":\"What key learning approach does the specification require for students?\",\"answer\":\"It requires an integrated approach where students study spoken, written, and multimodal texts as part of a continuum of how meanings are constructed through language.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the specification handle coursework and teacher choice?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses compulsory coursework while providing maximum freedom of choice for teachers, allowing independent study and creative response to support engagement and achievement.\"}]","Specification - GCE English Language and Literature - Issue 3 | PDF",1792472643,181,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,111,116,121,125,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
