L1 English
1Engl Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr K. Lee.
PrerequisitesAutomatic entry to this course will be based on achieving the Literacy unit standards for reading and writing. Automatic entry will also be based on teacher recommendation and analysis of progression through years 9 and 10. Some students may be required to sit an ELANG course alongside or instead of Level 1 English. Other students will be placed in Level 1 English Literacy. Final decisions will be made by the HOD of English.
The Level 1 English programme builds on the skills that were developed through the junior curriculum and provides a new platform to allow students to access and succeed in NCEA. In this course, students will study the way language influences how we respond to texts, craft academic responses to multiple literary works, and craft pieces of writing in a range of contexts. Assessment consists of one internal achievement standard, where students choose a written text that is meaningful to them from a selection provided by the school, and the two external achievement standards: a writing piece, and the unfamiliar texts exam. Students will also complete Glenfield College-created English tasks.
