AQA English Language AS Level 2015 2nd June

Does anyone have any essays they've wrote they can send me to read through? For the part B. Thanks in advance and good luck

What theory would I use for semantic/lexical development I.e nativist/behaviourist/cognitive/behavioural and how? 😩

Although I pick wayyyyy too many features and can't stop myself haha

How would you answer the question : "how does child's semantic & lexical understanding develop as it grows older"?

Hi all, just thought I'd make this thread as one hasn't been made yet (I think). It's just to chat and help each other with the AQA English Language AS Level exam on the 2nd of June. I know it's quite a while away but the earlier revision starts, the better! Anyway, feel free to chat and ask me any questions if you like? Haha I have been getting A/Bs throughout the year so I guess I could help if you need any. Thanks!

Hi, the good thing about English Language is that if you did it at GCSE you already have a nice head start! I understand you wanting to focus more on chemistry as it is considered a harder subject. If I were in your position I would: 1. Write up a list of definition for key terms you need (e.g. linguistic devices) making sure you know your groupings too (audience etc.) and then read this every so often and a few nights before you go to bed, even take this with you to read on a journey! 2. Go through past essays you have done and note down what areas you need to improve from feedback from teachers; highlight this and even stick it up on your wall for a reminder! 3. Write a list of the theorists you need for section B and make sure you know 5-6 of these and what they said so you can include this in your answer and lastly 4. Read exemplar essays and take notes of what they did well which you can include in your own work as well as reading examiners' reports, mark schemes and the AOs.
I hope this helps- remember a lot of revision for English Language involves memorising key terms/linguistic devices and knowing your AOs and exam technique

You shoudl change the title of this so people know whether you're talking about AQA A (Language and Mode/Child Language Acquisition) or AQA B (Categorising Texts).
