Course Outline

Students develop a knowledge and understanding of the relationship between language, culture and identity in literary texts and develop an appreciation of the significance of literary study through close critical analysis of literary texts. Students inquire into the power of language to represent ideas, events and people, comparing these across a range of texts, contexts, modes and forms.

Through critical analysis and evaluation, the values and attitudes represented in and through texts and their impact on the reader are examined. Students create analytical responses that are characterised by a confident, engaging style and informed observation. In creating imaginative texts, students experiment with language, adapt forms and challenge conventions, reflecting how the created text takes into account the expectations of audiences.
