L2ENG

Level 2 English

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs N. Ward.

You will read and analyse a variety of written, oral and visual texts for personal enjoyment and to extend your literacy skills.  You will develop a discriminating understanding of how language features and structure are used to present ideas and will produce a portfolio of writing that is crafted and controlled for particular purposes and audiences. Key skills include critical and creative thinking, the effective use of reading strategies, and the crafting of language to communicate ideas fluently.


Where does it lead?  L2ENG leads into L3ENG and L3EAO.  In addition, it develops the literacy skills needed in all subjects in the senior school, and in careers such as health sciences, law and law enforcement, psychology, politics, the media, education, the defence forces, the public service, trades and any career involving written or spoken communication.



What should I have already done?

Students taking L2ENG should have shown sound understanding and skills in 11ENG or 11ENP.
