English Literature iGCSE

Is there really anything better than losing yourself in a good book? Whether you love novels, plays or poetry, studying English Literature allows you to immerse yourself into texts with the aim to scrutinise and debate.

You’ll have the opportunity to excite your mind with different kinds of literature, changing the way you view it. You’ll develop communication skills in both written and spoken language, learn how to argue a point, and be able to analyse and deliver a variety of meaning to text.

An ideal choice for anyone who wants to boost their employability in a wide range of careers, such as teaching, journalism, marketing, and law. On this online course, you’ll analyse a wide variety of poetry, and gain a much more informed understanding of the characters, themes and settings of Romeo and Juliet.
