Full event details

To do well in GCSEs in English Language and English Literature, students have to comment on the ways in which authors use language. This can be a difficult thing to get the hang of. What kind of language is worth commenting on, and what can be said about it? This workshop addresses these questions by looking at the language of some carefully selected key texts. Please contact us in advance at [email protected] if there are particular texts or passages you would like us to consider. Joe has designed and taught several modules on the language of literature at the University of Birmingham (and the language of other things like political speeches, media interviews, everyday conversation that often come up in GCSE).

This event will start at 1pm and end by 3pm. 

Please book onto this masterclass using the visit website link below.
