Students learn to become efficient communicators through their study of plays, novels and poetry; they develop information skills and critical and affective thinking. As effective users of the written word they become conversant with a range of writing styles and registers. Students are also encouraged to express their views through an emphasis on the spoken word – a bonus made possible through the small class sizes. A wide variety of texts is available as well as material encountered in the media. Audio-visual resources supplement learning. It is intended that students should encounter a range of perspectives that reflect the international and multicultural world that they live in.
