GCSE English Language Flashcards

Want to level up your analysis, spot techniques other students miss, and impress examiners with your sophisticated discussion of effects and authorial intent? The SnapRevise GCSE English Language Flashcards are your essential toolkit for mastering the devices that power both fiction and nonfiction texts.

Each Flashcard is carefully designed to help you build a deep and flexible understanding of literary, poetic, and persuasive techniques. On the front, you’ll find the name and definition of a key device – clear, concise, and easy to learn or revise. On the back, we go deeper: you’ll get an in-depth explanation of the effect, examples of authorial intent, and insights into how and why writers use these techniques to shape meaning and manipulate tone, emotion, or argument.

Relevant for all GCSE and IGCSE exam boards, these Flashcards are ideal for fun English revision (especially when you don’t want to churn out essays). By using these regularly, you’ll not only sharpen your close-reading skills for unseen texts, you’ll also strengthen your own creative and persuasive writing, giving you the tools to write with flair!

These Flashcards include:

• Literary, poetic, and persuasive devices in one complete set to prepare you for all text types and genres
• Clear definitions on the front that are perfect for memorisation and quick revision or learning new techniques that most students don’t know
• Detailed analysis of effect and intent on the back – ideal for developing high-level responses and earning those 9s
• Explanations that enhance higher-order skills like inference, critical thinking, and language manipulation
• Colour-coded by category for easy navigation and targeted practice
• Compact, portable format for revision that fits your schedule

Whether you're analysing an unseen poem or crafting your own imaginative narrative, these Flashcards will help you understand the intricacies and mechanics of writing so you can unleash your inner Shakespeare!
