12ENGI will focus on equipping students with the necessary English skills to achieve at Level 2. This course offers 14 to 17 credits from Internal Achievement Standards as well as two Communication Skills Unit Standards. The option of completing the Writing standard (AS 2.4) which offers writing credits for UE literacy will depend on student interest and desired pathway in conjunction with teacher discretion. This course does offer the University Entrance Reading and Writing credits. Students if they have questions should discuss this with their English teacher.
Students wishing to attend Auckland University may need to gain the balance of credits from a Level 3 English course in the following year in order to gain the full 17 English credits required by that institution.
