Level 2 English

Students who have taken English 101, English 103 or who were part of the Year 10 English Acceleration programme in 2023 should select Level 2 English.

Students will be placed into either English 201 or English 203 based on their results from Level 1 English. English 201 includes more external assessment, with a focus on Achievement Standards, while English 203 is an entirely internally based course with a focus on Unit Standards. It is important to note that English 203 leads into English 303 (in Level 3 English) which is not a University Approved subject.

In this course students are offered the opportunity to study a variety of written texts, visual texts and oral texts. They are also supported to create texts of different types. The students will be offered a selection of standards from the list below, making up a total of approximately 15 credits based on the timetabled class of which they are a member. The programme consists of compulsory core standards, but also offers the students the opportunity to elect to do extra standards as well as the core. There may be slight variety in the core standards offered between classes. Students will have the opportunity to gain UE Literacy.
