About WJEC A-Level English Literature
WJEC is the principal exam board in Wales and also offers qualifications in England under the Eduqas brand. Their specifications are known for accessible language and clear assessment objectives.
A-Level English Literature immerses you in the close study of prose, poetry, and drama across different periods and genres. You will analyse texts ranging from Shakespeare and pre-1900 literature to modern and contemporary works, developing sophisticated skills in literary criticism, textual analysis, and academic writing. The step up from GCSE is significant — you are expected to construct independent arguments, engage with critical perspectives, and explore how texts relate to their historical and social contexts.

Study Tips for WJEC English Literature
Annotate your set texts thoroughly with analysis of language, structure, form, and context — your annotations become your primary revision resource and help you locate key quotations quickly during revision.
Learn short, versatile quotations (5-10 words maximum) for each text. These are easier to memorise and more effective in timed essays than long passages you might misremember.
Read at least two different critical perspectives on each text. Being able to reference and evaluate alternative readings (feminist, Marxist, post-colonial, psychoanalytic) demonstrates the academic sophistication examiners reward at the top grades.
Practise writing timed essay plans (not full essays) regularly — give yourself five minutes to plan an argument in response to an unseen question. This builds the skill of constructing a thesis quickly under exam conditions.
