Hi there :smile:
Paper 2 includes a choice of two essay questions - you answer one. These questions can be on any language discourse (change, regional varieties, occupation, social groups, gender and global English/ethnic variations). Then the next question is a comparative essay of two articles and these could be on any of the discourses in parenthesis above - whereas the essay question is AO1 and AO2 (theories and concepts), the comparative essay is heavily weighted on AO1 and AO4. Then the final question is an article which is based on the language discourse of the two articles in the above question, for example, if the articles are on gender then the article/media piece you write has to be on gender.
Hope this helps! PM me for any help :smile:
