English Language Aims and Objectives English Language and English Literature are taught in tandem. By the end of the year 11 course, all pupils will be prepared for their exams in both subjects. English Language is examined over two papers – one covering unseen fiction and the other unseen non-fiction, including a comparative element where pupils work with a modern and a nineteenth century text. Both papers require pupils to produce creative fiction and non-fiction for a specific audience.
