I'm getting an influx of followers who are either new Eng Lang A Level students or new Linguistics UGs. If this is you and you are wondering 'Did I choose the right subject/course?', the answer is 'yes'. The world would be a better place if more people studied how language works.

Feeling worried about GCSE or A level results this year?
Read Ofqual's blog post about coping with uncertainty and receiving results.
