GCSE Edexcel English-podcasts

[alwaysplanning]

Hi-DC has found podcasts from Mr Bruyff and Mr Salles for English lit/lang but both cover AQA syllabus. Does anyone know how different that is to Edexcel? Are there podcasts specifically for Edexcel or would these be sufficient?

There are Youtube videos for Edexcel which will help with question paper walkthroughs, I have just looked at an Edexcel lit past paper and it seems to spell it out a bit more as to what to consider when answerwing the question which I think is great. This lady even appears on Mr Salles channel too.

As always past papers and their mark schemes (all online) are a great way to revise. Look at a question, write the answer, check the mark scheme. With English they need to make sure they hit every AO (Assessment Objective) box ie AO2 is always language so they need to pick out a word to explore as to why that was used etc. It is all in the mark scheme, it explains it all.

I wanted to say thank you for sharing the link. It's still a bit slow going with English but DS has found this YouTube channel to be really clear and helpful.
