English 12 provides students the knowledge and skill to use language in its full range of contexts and purposes through a variety of print and non-print media. Students will be able to understand and draw conclusions from communications, whether written, spoken, or displayed visually. Language knowledge and skills are taught within the context of the six language arts processes of speaking, listening, writing, reading, viewing, and representing. As students progress through the grade levels, the communication processes and materials used become more complex, and students are expected to produce increasingly sophisticated work. Students also explore Canadian and world literature as a way of understanding their literary and multicultural heritage.
