AQA A-level English Language Paper 2 (7702/2) - 7th June 2024 [Exam Chat]

Soo weird to see this... Paul is my English teacher!

Hey! How much do you suggest we write for this question? Panicking low key because people who do really well tend to write a lot, at least 4 paragraphs (excluding intro and conclusion) so I'm not sure what to do.

i write 3 paragraphs every single time and have never scored below 36/40 . it’s about content not length

i think 3 or 4 is a good benchmark, but if you're struggling to reach that I usually plan 2 strong ones at the start and then get going, and then go back later and carry on planning and writing if I have time. I'm quite a detailed planner though so it tends to take me a little while, and prefer not to spend time planning paragraphs I won't end up having time to write.

what last minute revision methods do u guys use for this paper? ive got no idea and i keep losing focus 😭

Can spoken stuff come up on this paper??

wdym?

like stuff like grices maxims and goffmans principles can that come up on the paper or not

i don't see how you would use it to be honest, though if there is speech in the two texts it may work? but its not assessing you on theory so best not to bother

alright thank you do you know what topics could actually come up i have a general idea but i feel like i am missing some

i've found that blurting is really helpful for filling in gaps last minute - pick a topic and write in brief notes as much as you can remember then go over details you've missed, like names of linguists and stuff. stops you just going over details you already know really well, and doesn't take too long, so good if you're struggling to focus!

wait is language change guaranteed to come up on the first question??

Section A: a choice of either a language change or diversity question (30 marks)
Section B: 2 contemporary texts (usually articles, blog posts, etc), analyse how well they present views about language change or diversity (40 marks) and write an article in response (30 marks)
