12 INGARIHI / ENGLISH

Subject Description

English is built upon the knowledge of other fields including philosophy, psychology, history, and sociology. The subject of English is the area of the curriculum responsible for preparing students to become sophisticated writers, readers and critical thinkers, which also allows them to understand aspects of the human experience. The ultimate goal of all literacy learning is to develop an understanding of self and others through an understanding of the wider world through writing and reading. You will be expected to participate in the teaching and learning in class, as well as complete all homework and out of class assignments. The course offers a possible 20 credits at Level Two, with two optional/extension assignments as well. There will be five Achievement Standards offered. Of these five, one is external and will be assessed in a three-hour exam at the end of the year. The other four Achievement Standards will be assessed internally. Depending on the progress of the class there is room for change at the teachers and HOD’s discretion.
