Why Study English?

In English students learn how to use and enjoy the English language and its literature - orally, visually, and in writing.  Students develop their skills to communicate to a range of audiences in different formats and for various purposes - both formal and informal.

Literacy in English enables students to succeed across their lives - from recreational settings (e.g. reading books, watching movies, engaging online) to formal settings such as work and community involvement.

At Glendowie College we ensure that all students have a sound grasp of language fundamentals (writing, speaking, reading) and develop their ability to think critically and in depth.  For example students will learn how to deconstruct and critically analyse texts.

The English Faculty also includes English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Media Studies.
