Level 3 English
13ENG Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs A. Vaughan.
Recommended Prior LearningCompletion of Year 12 English with at least 12 Level 2 credits, or approval from the Learning Area Director. If students who select this course do not meet these pre requisites by the start of 2026, they will have the option to move into the 13 English Foundation course or to select another subject.
This is one of two mainstream Level 3 English courses offered. The distinction is to give students choice and to reflect their strengths and interests. Both courses are equal in status and difficulty and are approved for the same pathways
Critical thinking is the essence of Level 3 English and during the year, students will be encouraged to form a position on a range of ideas developed in literature. Students in this course will respond to a wide range of texts, including film, poetry, short stories, a play and a novel. Many of these texts will be self-selected.
Students will develop their academic writing skills and extend their responses to literature to formulate discerning arguments and evaluative commentaries. The internal assessments will involve making connections between texts, analysing and critically responding to film, and delivering an oral presentation. Students will also have the opportunity to sit 3 external exam standards.
