The English curriculum aims to ensure that students:
- learn to listen to, read, view, speak, write, create and reflect on increasingly complex and sophisticated spoken and written texts across a growing range of contexts with accuracy, fluency and purpose;
- appreciate, enjoy and use the English language in all its variations and develop a sense of its richness and power to evoke feelings, convey information, form ideas, facilitate interaction with others, entertain, persuade and argue;
- understand how Standard Australian English works in its spoken and written forms and in combination with non-linguistic forms of communication to create meaning; and
- develop interest and skills in inquiring into the aesthetic aspects of texts, and develop an informed appreciation of literature.
