3.1 Non-fiction Anthology, Influence and Power
Study the chosen anthology theme and current prescribed text, including continuous, non-continuous and spoken material.
How to use this integrated English guide
Keep language and literature connected: analyse vocabulary, grammar, syntax, structure, form and context together, then transfer that understanding into speaking and writing.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Key ideas within the selected cross-cutting theme
Exam cue: Confirm the current integrated WJEC award route, unit, text or anthology requirement and live assessment task before applying a strategy.
Concept 2
Language, grammar, structure, form, register, style and context in non-fiction
Exam cue: Identify who is influencing whom, by what exact choice and in which context, then evaluate the intended and possible effects.
Concept 3
How writers and speakers construct influence, power, viewpoint and audience response
Exam cue: Link linguistic and literary analysis: name the exact choice, explain how it creates meaning, and connect it to context, viewpoint, purpose or audience.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Assuming a permanent prescribed text or ignoring non-continuous and spoken-text features.
Guardrail: Static practice cannot replace the live biennial WJEC task, current text or poem, centre controls, authentication, recording, marking or moderation.
Importing the legacy separated English Language or English Literature structure, an Eduqas specification or another board's assessment rules.
Guardrail: Do not import the legacy separated specifications, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Treating optional texts, current biennial NEA tasks or route-specific units as universal requirements for every learner.
Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights, text lists or tasks across routes.
