English

The VCE English Subjects include a choice from English Units 1-4, English Language Units 1-4, and English Literature Units 1-4.  VCE English is an extension of Year 10 English. The subject focuses on developing students’ understanding of how to analyse various texts, exploring given contexts in different genres and text types and developing confidence in presenting to an audience. Students also explore the Craft of Writing. The study of VCE Literature enables individuals to understand how culture develops over time, and how culture shapes the way we see the world and understand human experience as explored in the many written and multi-media forms studied. On the other hand, VCE English Language is based on the students analysing the conventions used by speakers and writers of English.  It is informed by the discipline of linguistics and provides students with metalinguistic tools to understand and analyse language use, variation, and change.
