Students must complete English 10 for their compulsory English 10 provincial credit.
Prerequisite: English 9
Grade 10 English continues to promote competent and confident reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing and representing. In addition to offering a variety of language experiences and a variety of works, the purpose of English 10 is to have students develop literary awareness and critical thinking, as well as written and oral communication skills in preparation for both Literary and Transactional options in grade 11.
The English “E” credit is a course for students with developing literacy skills as determined by Kelvin’s formal language assessment process. Emphasis is on listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing in a variety of combinations and through a wide range of relevant texts. In addition, some language study and exposure to culture may be components of the curriculum.
The course is delivered by the English Department and is a prerequisite to grade 10 or 11 regular English courses so that students can be more successful in the regular English program.
École secondaire Kelvin High School recommends strongly that EAL learners take this course.
