English 30-2

If you are intending to pursue a college diploma program or a technical trades (note that requirements for trades vary, so we recommend that you investigate prior to registering in this course) this is the course for you. In English 30-2, you will explore a variety of texts (visuals, poetry, modern drama, film, and novel). You will also receive lots of instruction and practice writing in a variety of contexts, especially in preparation for the required provincial diploma exam. 

There is a supervised midterm and final exam in this course as well as a diploma exam. Both the course mark and diploma exam mark are required for a final mark to appear on your transcript.

In order for a student to be successful in this course, VVS recommends a minimum of 50% in English 20-2 or 40% in English 20-1.  If you did not complete English Language Arts in high school, or it’s been a long time since you’ve taken an English Language Arts class, it’s recommended you begin at the 20-2 level.  Please contact the teacher for more guidance as to what the best fit is for your current knowledge and skills.
