Grade 7- 8 English

Our Year 7-8 English program is designed to foster a love for literature, strengthen core language skills, and encourage critical thinking in young learners. The course provides a comprehensive and engaging curriculum aligned with key educational standards, covering both literature and language studies.

Students will explore a wide range of texts, from classic and contemporary fiction to non-fiction, poetry, and drama, with a focus on analysing and interpreting themes, characters, and language techniques. Through these literary explorations, they will develop their ability to write creatively and persuasively, as well as refine their skills in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Key areas of focus include:

• Reading Comprehension: Deep analysis of texts, identifying themes, tone, and narrative techniques.
• Writing Skills: Crafting clear, cohesive essays, creative writing pieces, and analytical responses.
• Speaking and Listening: Developing confidence in oral presentations, discussions, and debates.
• Grammar and Vocabulary: Strengthening foundational language skills to enhance writing clarity and style.

The program is designed to support students in developing a rich understanding of the English language, helping them to communicate effectively, think critically, and enjoy the world of literature.
