It will comprise qualifications in English Language and English Literature with exams in November 2010 and May 2011. Students will have four English lessons per cycle and likely the same teacher for the two-year course. They will study modules including Romeo and Juliet, a novel, poetry, and exam texts. Students will complete exams and coursework testing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. All written work must be submitted through Turnitin. Students are instructed to organize their English notes in folders on their computers. The first unit of study is an inquiry into language and literature, where students will research topics of interest to present to peers.
