1ENGLIT - Level 1 English for Literacy

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss T. Harvey.

This course is specifically designed for students who are yet to gain one or both of the Literacy co-requisite standards for reading and writing and who find mainstream English challenging for specific reasons. 

Learning will focus on real world contexts for reading, writing and communication appropriate to the workplace, training courses and apprenticeships. Students will develop reading and writing skills that will support them to confidently access their learning in all learning areas.

Important to note - the focus of this course is building literacy skills. Students will only be entered into standards when they demonstrate readiness and ability to succeed. The credits listed below indicate possible achievement. 

This course will not normally lead to a Year 12 English course. However, students may discuss requirements of this progression with the Head of English prior to final selection. 

Students should indicate interest in this course by selecting it. However, final selection for the course will involve teacher recommendation based on skills demonstrated in Year 10 English. Students should talk to their English teacher to learn more about what course is right for them. 


Recommended Prior Learning

Entry to the course will be based on all results produced in Year 10 English and will be on the advice of each student's English teacher. Students may select this as a preferred option as an indicator of interest to their teachers.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

A personal laptop is strongly encouraged for all class learning and assessment work.

Pathway
