Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to learn English standard?
English is a compulsory subject for all Year 12 students. English Standard offers an opportunity to engage with both contemporary and classic literature, as well as non-traditional digital texts, prose fiction, poetry, drama, nonfiction, film texts and other media. In doing so, students are introduced to texts from a wide variety of authors, exploring the ways in which different ideas and experiences are analysed and presented through language.
How many modules are there in the year 12 English standard course?
The English standard course in year 12 continues from year 11 English standard and comprises four modules that are covered throughout the school year. The first is a common module on Texts and Human Experiences, followed by Module A: Language, Identity and Culture, Module B: Close Study of Literature and Module C: The Craft of Writing. The literature and texts studied in these modules vary from school to school.
How do I start studying Year 12 standard English?
No matter which texts your school has chosen from the year 12 English standard syllabus list, our tutors can help you engage with the literature, using analysis techniques to better understand the themes, perspectives and value of given works. They will assist you in creating quote analysis tables, provide detailed feedback on your practice essays and reflective pieces, help you develop strategies to generate ideas, adapt your arguments, and write under timed exam conditions.
