Year 12 (Class of 2027)

This year you will be studying two texts in translation and two texts  originally written in your mother tongue.  The aim of this year is to develop your understanding and appreciation of literature both in translation and originally written in your primary language of study.  The main focus of your studies this year is to identify and understand the global issues present in the works you have studied and consider how these global issues are presented in works across time and space. 

We will begin the course by studying one work in translation as a class. You will read this text in your mother tongue but we will discuss it in English in class. Because this is a mother tongue class, the written work that you do on these texts, will be in your primary language of study. Our lessons on these texts will be supplemented by sessions with your tutor, which will be conducted in your mother tongue.

When we move into your mother tongue texts, you will study these works with your tutor during your scheduled tutor sessions. SSST class time will be split between supervised sessions for you to complete tutor assigned work and class discussions on global issues, upcoming assessments, and general approaches to the study of literature.
