Cambridge International AS & A Level English Language develops a set of transferable skills. These include critical analysis; constructing arguments; presenting knowledge and understanding; and writing English in a balanced, articulate and fluent manner. Learners can apply these skills across a wide range of subjects and real-world situations. These skills will also equip them well for progression to higher education or directly into
employment.

Our approach in Cambridge International AS & A Level English Language encourages learners to be:

• Confident, exploring texts and ideas with self-assurance, intellectual freedom and personal insight
• Responsible, committing to their learning and developing linguistic expertise to better understand themselves, others and the wider community
• Reflective, developing a keen and critical sense of themselves as users and consumers of language in a range of ever-changing contexts
• Innovative, approaching tasks and texts with a combination of creative, original and flexible thinking
• Engaged, recognising and interrogating the role language plays in matters of personal, social and global significance, and being prepared to apply this learning beyond the classroom
