2ENGAS - Level 2 English for Academic Studies

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss T. Harvey.

This course is designed for students who would prefer a more academic focus, rather than literary, in their English subject learning. 

You will develop academic reading, viewing and analysis skills by exploring visual, oral, and written texts and contexts from Aotearoa and other parts of the world. You will focus on a range of aspects, ideas and perspectives, including aspects embedded in te ao Māori. Through this you will also develop the writing skills necessary to communicate that analysis. You will read and view a range of texts based on personal interest, make connections between texts, and learn to communicate your analysis in written and/or oral responses. You will also create a writer profile for yourself and develop fiction and/or non-fiction writing skills through a range of academic and creative writing contexts.

You will have the opportunity to gain university entrance literacy credits in this course.

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