Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Guise.

Play to Your Strengths!

The Level Two English programme covers oral, written and visual language and encourages students to explore language and literature, think critically and process information. There is a focus on embedding abilities to communicate clearly and effectively in a range of situations, and to analyse texts.  

This course enables students to fulfill the literacy requirements for further tertiary studies.  

Students will work on Achievement Standards that are internally assessed, or externally assessed in the NCEA exams at the end of the year. 

All students will complete the writing portfolio (2.4, internal) and then choose two other internals from those listed below. This allows students to “play to their strengths”. 

Students are expected to complete TWO externals.

The total credits you would earn from this course is 16-21.
