Código AREA TERM PLANNER GRADE TEN SCHOOL YEAR: 2013 - 2014 II TERM: 16/10/2013 – 12/12/2013 AREA: ENGLISH A: LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE HL RGAF-7-34 Página 1 de 4 Actualización 06/08/2013 GRADE: TEN GOALS The language A: language and literature course aims to develop in students skills of textual analysis and the understanding that texts, both literary and non-literary, can be seen as autonomous yet simultaneously related to culturally determined reading practices. An understanding of the ways in which formal elements are used to create meaning in a text is combined with an exploration of how that meaning is affected by reading practices that are culturally defined and by the circumstances of production and reception. The following are the Area goals for the two-year Program: 1. Introduce students to a range of texts from different periods, styles and genres 2. Develop in students the ability to engage in close, detailed analysis of individual texts and make relevant connections 3. Develop the students’ powers of expression, both in oral and written communication 4. Encourage students to recognize the importance of the contexts in which texts are written and received 5. Encourage, through the study of texts, an appreciation of the different perspectives of people from other cultures, and how these perspectives construct meaning 6. Encourage students to appreciate the formal, stylistic and aesthetic qualities of texts 7. Promote in students an enjoyment of, and lifelong interest in, language and literature. 8. Develop in students an understanding of how language, culture and context determine the ways in which meaning is constructed in texts 9. Encourage students to think critically about the different interactions between text, audience and purpose.

Records of learning evidence must be kept to allow for reflection, so that students are able to reflect upon their achievements and to explain them in front of others. Evidence records allow both students and their teachers to assess progress in terms of knowledge, abilities, and understanding.
