February 16th 2018

 This Friday Takeaway is a revision resource written by one of our regular writers Paul Dodd, one of the Ofqual advisors for the new 9-1 exams.

Edusites English Friday Takeaway

January 17th 2018

This week's Friday Takeaway is a change from the usual. Our A Level English Language Guides for Students, originally written for the legacy specifications, are an example of quality recycling.

Many students struggle with this concept which, along with *purpose*, *audience* and *genre* must surely rank as one of the four key aspects of /all/ texts; indeed, it could be ...Continue Reading
