English is important:
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/english_syl.pdfBOS said:The importance of English in the curriculum is a recognition of its role as the national language and increasingly as the language of international communication. Proficiency in English enables students to take their place as confident, articulate communicators, critical and imaginative thinkers and active participants in society.
The study of English enables students to recognise and use a diversity of approaches and texts to meet the growing array of literacy demands, including higher-order social, aesthetic and cultural literacy. This study is designed to promote a sound knowledge of the structure and function of the English language and to develop effective English communication skills*. The English Stage 6 courses develop in students an understanding of literary expression and nurture an appreciation of aesthetic values. Through reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing and representing experience, ideas and values, students are encouraged to adopt a critical approach to all texts and to distinguish the qualities of texts. Students also develop English language skills to support their study at Stage 6 and beyond.
The study of English enables students to make sense of, and to enrich, their lives in personal, social and professional situations and to deal effectively with change. Students develop a strong sense of themselves as autonomous, reflective and creative learners. The English Stage 6 syllabus is designed to develop in students the faculty to perceive and understand their world from a variety of perspectives, and it enables them to appreciate the richness of Australia’s cultural diversity.
Man you are seriously diluted, if you honestly believe that. Standard English and Advanced English SCALE THE SAME!!! And just because a school doesn't offer it doesn't mean that it is because of bad scaling. A lot of schools don't offer all the courses even high scaling ones because of lack of interest of whatever! Next time you make a statement like that, maybe you should actually provide evidence to prove your statement, cause from now on thats the only time I would ever believe anything that you say.foram said:standard english scales badly. It is also not available at a number of school because its scales soo badly.
