ENG2L Course Information Sheet



 
Course Information Sheet
English: ENG 2L

In this course, students focus on extending their literacy and communication skills to prepare for success
in their daily lives, in the workplace, in the English, Grade 11, Workplace Preparation course, or in the
English: Contemporary Aboriginal Voices, Grade 11, Workplace Preparation course. The course is organized by strands that extend listening and talking skills, reading and viewing skills, and writing skills. In all strands, the focus is on refining foundational literacy skills and on using language clearly and accurately in a variety of authentic contexts. Students build on their strategies and engage in the processes involved in talking, listening, reading, viewing, writing, and thinking. Students reflect regularly upon their growth in these areas.

ENG 2L focuses on these Enduring Understandings, based upon key expectations from the Ministry of Educations curriculum:

Extending Listening and Talking Skills

Your final mark will be calculated based on the Ministry of Educations Achievement Chart for the course as follows: Knowledge/Understanding: 25%; Thinking: 25%; Communication: 25%; Application: 25%

70% of the final mark will be based on work completed throughout the course, including tests, oral presentations and a variety of written assignments and projects. 30% will be based on the final evaluation (see details below.)
