Communications Courses

The Communications 11 and 12 courses are an alternative to English 11 and 12. The focus of this curriculum is to strengthen students' basic skills in comprehending and producing language so that they are able to use language competently to understand and respond to communications in spoken, written, and visual forms. In these courses, students learn to use language appropriate to the situation, audience, and purpose in their lives and in the workplace. Students also explore Canadian and world literature as a way of understanding their literary and multicultural heritage. Communications 11 and 12 is designed for students who do not plan to pursue academic studies beyond Grade 12.

English Courses
The English 8-12 provides students the knowledge and skill to use language in its full range of contexts and purposes through a variety of print and non-print media. Students will be able to understand and draw conclusions from communications, whether written, spoken, or displayed visually. Language knowledge and skills are taught within the context of the six language arts processes of speaking, listening, writing, reading, viewing, and representing. As students progress through the grade levels, the communication processes and materials used become more complex, and students are expected to produce increasingly sophisticated work. Students also explore Canadian and world literature as a way of understanding their literary and multicultural heritage.

As an alternative to other English Language Arts courses, it uses real or simulated communications challenges related to technical and professional issues to develop language skills. The course requires students to use a variety of traditional and current technologies to facilitate and enhance their work.
