Could somebody tell me how English is taught in schools today. I believe that the curriculum (with regard to English that is) is currently made up of English, Literacy and Language; am I correct. And if so, which of the above areas is given the most priority, i.e. the area to which most lesson time is devoted to for the purpose of reaching government-set targets? Any help will be most welcome. Kind regards, Amanda. P.S. this is a matter of some urgency, so please, please could you reply ASAP.
English language and literature are taught together and as individual subjects. Students typically do both subjects double award. In gov target settings the target of 5+ A*-C can include either or both.
i'm doing gcse's at the moment.
all our work ends in a bit of coursework plus we learn skills we need in exams so we learn lang. and lit. in proportion to the coursework + a few extra lessons on exam skills.
