There's no coursework in AQA GCSE English if you're starting this year, as the specification has changed. It has been replaced with 'controlled assessment', which are in-class exams.

If you're resitting then that presumably means you're in at least your second year of GCSE English and thus the above person's comment doesn't apply to you.
The exams on the 8th and the 10th aren't coursework, those are the two exam papers that make up the final 60% of your overall grade.
Coursework that I would assume you've already done include two speaking and listening assessments, a media essay, original writing and an essay on a play (I think).

Sounds fine to me. Then again, I know nothing about private entry GCSEs so don't take what I say as gospel.
