The English curriculum aims to ensure that students:
- learn to purposefully and proficiently listen to, speak about, read, view, write, create and reflect on a range of texts, through their historical, cultural and social contexts and across an increasing level of complexity
- understand how to use Standard Australian English appropriately, and in combination with non-linguistic forms of communication, to create meaning
- develop interest and skills in examining and analysing texts, and develop an informed appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of literature
- appreciate, enjoy, analyse, evaluate, adapt and use the richness and power of the English language in all its variations to evoke feelings, form and convey ideas, and facilitate interaction with others.
