Is anybody doing AQA AS English language and literature?

I really need desperate help. How do I link language to structure and presentation and context and purpose? Oh and how should I make my plan. Because I overwrite and the worst part is that I've been at a D for all my practice on past papers.

predictions of both questions??

You don't have to link language to structure etc.
Here's how I'd write the answer:
- Outline Genre, Audience and Purpose of each text.
-Language of text A linked to audience, purpose and how context has effected the choice of language.
-Language of text B in same style as the above.
-Structure of A and how it links to audience and purpose and whether context has effected the structure.
-Structure of B in the same way.
-Concluding paragraph.
Also, remember to link the two texts together, otherwise the answer tends to be weaker.
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!

Ah, Ok. Thanks a LOT! That took me so long to get. And for example if the text is a transcript how would the structure link to audience. I mean, how would language link to audience? I hope you understand my question.

Oh and one more thing!
Do you have any modal answers to a Unit 1 past paper? By any chance?

There's a very very small chance of a transcript re-appearing since it was on last year, but I'm doing A2 as well so I can explain.
-As for audience of a transcript: if it's a spontaneous conversation, there is no audience outside of the people involved in the conversation.
-Purpose of a transcript: the purpose of a conversation basically, and usually it's transactional (aka something is going to come out of the conversation e.g. a purchase)
-Context: Context of a conversation will affect the language of the conversation.

I'll quickly write up a model answer / post part of one that a teacher has given me if that would help?

If its a transcript you would say there is an internal audience of both speakers and the purpose would be what each speaker is trying to get out of the conversation. Hope I explained that okay haha

This is a basic overview of the unseen question for the AS paper. I don't think it's as detailed of an answer as it should be, and needs a bit of improvement in that aspect, but it's helpful!

Thanks a lot! I thought it was the seen question though.

Hey guys, I've just been having a look at the free resources on the student room - there are a load of great notes, mindmaps and flashcards for AQA AS lang and lit - you can find them here and filter by topic on the left. Hope that helps - good luck!

To give you an idea what they're like, here's a screen shot of a mindmap on 'eating out' to give you an idea of what the resources are like
