English Studies ~2 Units Preliminary and HSC
This course does not count toward the calculation of an ATAR, but it does count towards the compulsory 6 units required for the award of the HSC.
In other words, this is the course for students who know they do not want to go straight from school to university, because they have another pathway in mind.
English Studies is designed to support students in developing proficiency in English to enhance their personal, social and vocational lives. It offers a comprehensive language experience that is reflected in the modes of reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing and representing.
The course provides students with the opportunity to become more confident and effective communicators and to enjoy a breadth and variety of texts in English. Students explore the ideas, values, language forms, features and structures of texts in a range of personal, social, cultural and workplace contexts.
This course is open to students who are dedicated and hard working, but who find that English is difficult for them. Students may apply to undertake the course, but this must be discussed with, and endorsed by, your teacher.
