Periods per week Five Description

At Level 3 students continue to build upon the skills and language structures learnt in Level 2,with the same achievement objectives outlined in the Level 2 description. Greater skill at manipulating the language is required,with emphasis on being able to develop an extended point of view. Students at this level are expected to explore differing viewpoints to their own and acknowledge other perspectives on societal issues. There is added emphasis on quality of thought and depth of argument. Topics of study include the environment, immigration and integration of immigrant populations, the rise of Islam, social issues – for example, the rising number of homeless – all provide a stimulus for much discussion and exchange of views. Students study filmand analyse literature as well as reviewing text types. Authentic material is now very much in evidence. Technology
