ENGLISH Level 2

Description

The study of literature, language, writing and production techniques are key elements in this course. In addition to academic poetry, short stories, the novel and drama, a Shakespearean play and a feature length film will be studied and analysed in depth. Students will continue to build on writing skills developed at Level 1.  Critical thinking skills and the close reading of unfamiliar texts with an emphasis on techniques relating to reader/writer purpose will also be developed. Students will complete a research project aimed at broadening their appreciation of literature. This project is a key component for the students to acquire an understanding of the intertextuality of English texts.
