Level 2 English Communication

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs E. Bolland.

They will communicate their own ideas through writing a screenplay, and there are options to communicate ideas further through oral text and/ or a writing portfolio. This course is internally assessed. This year, the course will focus on UE credits, so learners who need literacy credits and are considering university will want to consider taking this course rather than trying to catch up in Y13.
