Learners following the Cambridge International AS English syllabus will study a range of texts in the three main forms: prose, poetry and drama. Set texts are offered from a wide range of different periods and cultures. Learners will develop skills of reading and analysis of texts, and are encouraged to undertake wide reading to aid understanding of the texts studied. They will learn skills of effective and appropriate communication including the ability to discuss the critical context of texts. Because of the need for annotation of text, it is valuable for you to purchase your own text for marking and highlighting. Please review the list below for the selected text that will be used throughout the year.
