Bayfield High School
Level 1 Literacy - English Language
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Curran.
This course provides the opportunity for international and migrant students to achieve the literacy requirements for Level 1 NCEA with the three generic literacy Unit Standards. There is also the opportunity to sit other English Language Level 2 Unit Standards for extra Level 2 credits, once Level 1 Literacy has been achieved.
The emphasis of this course is on communication in English and requires the student to focus on reading with understanding, writing to communicate ideas and to actively take part in spoken interactions. All work generated in class by the teaching and learning programme for the literacy unit standards is assessed internally over the whole year.
Areas of focus are: increasing vocabulary; practising English grammar; recognising language features, purpose, audience, and different types of text; locating and analysing ideas and information from text and wide reading; presenting a speech, comparing, contrasting and evaluating meaning; producing paragraphed writing using different sentence structures; learning strategies for self-monitoring and accuracy; contributing ideas and displaying both verbal and non-verbal behaviours with spoken communication.
