English A level

I am a student living outside of UK and I am interested in taking A levels. Should I choose English Literature or English Language?

I do Literature and Language combined!
I’ve found that it’s totally down to preferences
If you like books and analysing literary work, take literature

If you like seeing how language and punctuation play into the effect a piece of text has, take language.

Unis tend to “prefer” literature over language or combined apparently, idk how true that is but I’m certain it DOES not matter as long as you’re happy and trying your best!


Good luck homeslice!
