English A-Levels :)

english a level is a mickey mouse subject- do something useful like maths

How do you know I'm not doing Maths too? Hmmmm?

tw*t

I did say like, so I was giving an example from the set of real subjects (namely maths, f maths, physics, chem and bio for further detail see the mickey mouse subject thread)

I can guess you aren't very good at english are you? ;] Or anything that involves some sort of creativity.
Why did you put biology on that list? Just wandering...

tw*t

biology is a real science- can only do 4 a levels at my school.

I am actually very good at english- and quite creative- certainly i often think outside the box

by mickey mouse subject, I mean english is a joke subject in that once you can speak it, why do you need to do stuff like comparative literature- its useless (there are other current threads talking about this which i am being neg repped for having blunt views) and completely subjective

Oohhh are you going into AS or A2? Because your course sounds very similar to mine I'm starting A2 though. And my coursework is two creative pieces, one is a transcript, the other a speech. And the third piece is a commentary of either one of the two, and it's upto us which we choose to commentate about, though my teacher said it will far easier to analyse the speech than the transcript.

I did language for a few weeks and then moved to the combined course. It's basically just a cross between the two. It's not going to be language seperate, and literature seperate. What you do is look at literary texts (which wouldn't normally happen in the straight Language course) but then you use Language features to analyse the texts So, for example, we did pre 1900 poetry - & were taught about different features to analyse such as different types of alliteration, different kinds of nouns, verbs, adjectives. Etc. It is pretty complex and it is very technical because you have to learn a lot of key words and grammatical features. But it's not bad

EDIT: I got two A's at gcse, so not much different than you

I'm going into AS. :]
I think my course is quite different to yours by the sounds though. I think mine is quite seperate, for one part we analyse texts and for another we have to do some creative writing. Like a comedy scetch or a radio script they said ( ) By the sounds of it, I would much rather do your course though! I'd much rather analyse texts than create my own.

Ohh I expect you'll find the course a bit easier than me then haha. I'll just have to work really hard I guess. Easier said than done though !

Honestly, English Literature is a LOT more respected than the lang-lit option, which is really quite looked down on. It may be worthwhile to do this instead.
