Group 1 - Studies in Language & Literature
French, German and English Language A
Philosophy
Our goal is to enable students to become skilled and confident oral, written and visual communicators and imaginative, productive and empathetic members of a changing, information-rich global society. This programme is for native or near-native speakers of the target language.
The key objectives of the ISL English Literacy Programme are to:
- Encourage the understanding and use the power of language and literature to inspire, inform, persuade, evoke and entertain, for the benefit of themselves and others
- Develop the capacity to examine ideas and arguments critically and to respond to them in a clear and increasingly sophisticated manner
- Promote the use of language as one of the essential tools for creative expression
- Recognise and work with a wide variety of texts and media; understanding function, content and purpose
- Promote an awareness of different cultural contexts and experiences, and of the capacity of language to reflect and explore these
