The English program aims at increasing students' mastery of language so they are able to:

• speak and listen appropriately in a variety of situations

• read independently and critically

• develop a critical awareness of visual, aural and printed material

• write effectively in a variety of styles for a variety of purposes

What will I do?

In Year 10 the expectation is that students will study texts of increasing complexity, and develop their capacity to produce extended responses. They will examine media sources in growing depth, and experiment with form, imagery and style in their own writing. Oral communication and interaction will be a significant part of the program. 

What will this lead to?

By the end of Year 10 students should have practised and honed the skills necessary to cope with V.C.E. English, including organisational skills.

Duration: 5 periods per week for one year
