National Qualifications in English enable learners to listen, talk, read and write appropriately for different purposes, audiences and contexts. These courses provide learners with the opportunity to analyse and evaluate texts in the contexts of literature, language and media, to develop an understanding of the complexities of language, and to develop analytical thinking and understanding of the impact of language.
