Baradene College
Year 13 English Advanced (Level 3)
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Mrs A. Harrison.
This is a course that teaches students how to develop a critical response to a range of visual and written texts, with an expectation that they will sit the English Scholarship examination in Term 4.
This course is designed to equip students with the skills needed to study at tertiary level as well as extend their reading into critical literature.
Close reading and forming literary arguments are also a major focus in this course.
Prerequisites
The course is open to all but students are advised to consider their Level 2 English results and to be aware that this Level 3 programme is challenging and suits students who are passionate about the study of English language and literature. Students should seek their English teacher’s advice or speak to the Head of Faculty if in doubt.
Parents and students should be aware that Auckland University will require 17 credits in Level 2 or Level 3 English for admission to all courses in addition to the 10 UE literacy credits required by NZQA. Students who do not have 17 credits in Level 2 English should also discuss their options.
