GCSE ENGLISH

English Language GCSE should ensure that students can read fluently and write effectively. They should be able to demonstrate a confident control of Standard English and they should be able to write grammatically correct sentences, deploy figurative language and analyse texts. 

GCSE specifications in English language should enable students to:

  • Read a wide range of texts, fluently and with good understanding
  • Read critically, and use knowledge gained from wide reading to inform and improve their own writing
  • Write effectively and coherently using Standard English appropriately
  • Use grammar correctly, punctuate and spell accurately
  • Acquire and apply a wide vocabulary, alongside a knowledge and understanding of grammatical terminology, and linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language

In addition, GCSE specifications in English Language must enable students to:

  • Listen to and understand spoken language, and use spoken Standard English effectively
Spoken language will be reported on as part of the qualification, but it will not form part of the overall final grade.

 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

We expect students progressing from school to have a grade D in GCSE English. Adults with no previous qualifications in English are welcome to apply. We require all applicants to complete an online application form and an initial assessment so that we can assess whether the course is suitable for them. We may advise studying Functional skills literacy first, if appropriate, before progressing to GCSE English.

MCM will consider alternative qualifications and for mature students will consider work history as part of the entry requirement process. If you do not meet the above entry requirements please get in touch and we maybe able to help – admissions@minhajcollege.ac.uk
