English Literature Resource Guide - This booklet provides an overview of the support, guidance and resources available to those teaching the WJEC GCsE English Literature specification across our suite of websites.

Our GCSE English Literature specification should encourage learners to be inspired, moved and changed by following a broad, coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of study.

It should extend learners’ interest in, and enthusiasm for, literature as they develop an understanding of the ways in which literature is rich and influential. It will also prepare learners to make informed decisions about further learning opportunities and career choices.
