Level 1 English

Course Description

Level 1 English is a combination of internally and externally assessed Achievement Standards informed by two big ideas. 

The first Big Idea Language and identity are inextricable, emphasising how our reading and production of texts is informed through our identity and how our identity informs our understanding through a focus on voices of Aotearoa and The Pacific 

The second Big Idea that informs these standards is Making and creating meaning through processes that occur when we interpret and when we produce text allows the learner to engage in a real way with that text. Enjoyment is enhanced and learners are enriched when they have the ability to use language with control and respond critically to texts.
