1ENGLIT - Level 1 English for Literacy
1ENGLIT Course Description Recommended Prior LearningEntry 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.
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 areas.
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.
