    3. 2.2 Paper 2: Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives

    Module Review

    This module will guide you through AQA English Language Paper 2, which focuses on non-fiction texts. You’ll explore two linked sources — usually from different time periods — and develop skills in summarising, analysing, and comparing writers’ viewpoints and methods. The texts may be articles, letters, speeches, diary entries, or blogs, and they will present contrasting perspectives on a shared theme.

    We will take you through each question (Q1–Q5), offering clear explanations, examples, tips, and exercises to build your understanding and confidence. You’ll begin by learning to retrieve and summarise key information (Q1–Q2), then move on to language analysis (Q3), comparing viewpoints (Q4), and finally producing your own non-fiction writing (Q5).

    By the end of this module, you’ll know exactly how to approach each question, structure your answers, and express your own ideas clearly and persuasively in both analysis and writing.
