Studying English at Uni

Surfing the net recently I came across a fantastic resource from Leeds University - www.theenglishfaculty.org. Created by the English Faculty there, it aims to bridge the gap between Advanced and Degree level English.

If you are studying particular texts, check out the podcasts which use the skills of lecturers on BA courses to address A Level issues and analysis.

The following supplement the Crossref-it.info guides on Frankenstein and Great Expectations, but there are many more:

• http://www.theenglishfaculty.org/a-levels/item/306-are-traditional-texts-always-what-they-seem?-great-expectations-pt21
• http://www.theenglishfaculty.org/a-levels/item/303-are-traditional-texts-always-what-they-seem?-great-expectations-pt22

If you are studying Language, there are podcasts on linguistics and grammar. There is also a wealth on info about the skills required for literary and language analysis.

For those of you hoping for a place at uni to study English, it’s also worth checking out the advice about what’s expected in a BA course and how to make the transition from school to college.

Meanwhile, we hope the contextual info at Crossref-it.info will help you get those grades...
