Course description
We want learners to love English and enjoy the texts that they read, listen to and watch. English is a subject that opens up a world of possibilities and we want to convey our own enthusiasm for the subject. The work that we do in class will range from critical essays writing to debating, from tragedy to comedy. We will work to improve creative writing skills, group work, project based work, personal/reflective writing and talk, as well as listening activities and media work. We will also focus on close reading skills through the teaching of RUAE and textual analysis through the study of Scottish texts.
