Year 11 additional English as a Second Language

This course covers the study and use of written and spoken language, the development and command of written language, and an understanding and critical awareness of a range of texts and genres. Its particular focus is to strengthen basic English language skills. While successful completion of the course will gain 26 NCEA credits, they do not specifically contribute to Level 1 Literacy. Students who study 11ESO do so in conjunction with 11ESL, where they can acquire Level 1 literacy credits. Extensive supplementary work is expected beyond the classroom in revising grammar and extending vocabulary.
