DESCRIPTION:This study attempts to explore A-level English Literature spec
 ification implementation and experiences of teaching and learning the subj
 ect on the premise that there may be differences between how the subject i
 s conceptualised by examination boards and how it is actualised in the cla
 ssroom. A case study was undertaken with one Year 12 and one Year 13 class
  in an East England 11-18 non-selective state school to explore how the AQ
 A English Literature B specification is interpreted\, conceptualised and a
 ctualised in classroom teaching and learning through a hermeneutic phenome
 nological perspective. Data was drawn from interviews with teachers and st
 udents\, field notes from observed classes and analysis of examination boa
 rd documentation. A comparison of examination board\, teacher and student 
 literature conceptualisations and actualisations suggests that teachers an
 d students conceptualise the subject differently from the examination boar
 d in terms of what is valued in and what constitutes the study of A-level 
 English Literature.
