Edexcel English Language Paper 2

Edexcel Paper 2 challenges you to explore non-fiction extracts and then produce persuasive writing that convinces an audience. Lightup teaches you how to complete the paper end to end: from breaking down the questions and analysing methods to producing transactional writing with our proven Lightup structures and persuasive sentence starters.

We break down every section of the exam, showing you how to compare effectively, identify key techniques, and write in different forms, whether it’s a letter, leaflet, article, or speech.

Our course gives you Edexcel-specific Grade 9 persuasive examples, examiner insights that show you what markers want, and frameworks that save time without sacrificing quality. With Lightup’s recall-focused design, persuasive devices like repetition, emotive language, and rhetorical questions become automatic tools you can use with confidence.

By following our structured approach, you’ll know how to move through the paper systematically, building strong answers from start to finish and maximising your marks across every question.
