Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Goddard.

Communication English

In Year 11, students must take either 11ENC or 11ENG. You must talk with your Year 10 teacher before requesting one of these classes. Your teacher, together with the HOD English, will direct you towards the best course of study for Year 11. Your placement will be affirmed and communicated to you once Year 10 results have been reviewed by the dept.

If you have not Achieved 2 or more of your written Year 10 summative assessments, you may be advised/required to take 11ENC.

11ENC - The Communication English course is designed specifically to give extra support with literacy to students who need it, and to cater to those who would value a more individualised programme of study that is engaging, practical, and has less literature study.
The focus of this course is on developing literacy skills, gaining NCEA Literacy Co-Requisites and the use of practical English skills to support other subject areas and vocational avenues. This course most likely leads to 12ENC, which is a Unit Standards course at Year 12 and is for students not looking to go to University.

At every level, our study of English is through a Christian worldview, and a redemptive narrative is central to each course.   Year 11 literature may deal with more mature themes than those discussed at Year 10, and students should be prepared to engage with content that sometimes presents a worldview different from their own; there is much we can learn from other perspectives and much to be gained from reaffirming our own values and opinions as we critique. Texts studied will be by male and female authors from a range of different historical periods and ethnicities. The NZ Curriculum requires us to engage with the Treaty of Waitangi in our classrooms, and the English department studies the works of Māori and Pākehā writers and directors, alongside those of other cultures. While there is not a great deal of literature in this course, it will be used from time to time.


Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

During the year we may have opportunity to see a performance, or host a visiting writer etc. There may be a charge of approx. $15.
