The English course is designed for students who are interested in how the English language is used to create meaning in written, spoken and multimodal texts of varying complexity. Literary texts are used for study whilst multimodal texts are selected for analysis and presentation of argument. The study is intended to meet the needs of students with a wide range of expectations and aspirations, including those for whom English is an additional language.
The study contributes to the development of literate individuals capable of critical and creative thinking, aesthetic appreciation and creativity. This study also develops students’ ability to discuss, create and analyse texts, moving from interpretation to reflection and critical analysis.
Semesters 1 and/or 2
This course builds on previously learnt principles of the core English curriculum and enables students to strengthen their application of these.

This study will build on the learning established through previous English studies in the modes of listening, speaking, reading, viewing and writing.
