Option 2 — Level 2 English 202
This course is intended for students who in the
past have had difficulty with English. It aims to
be an interesting course that is likely to be more
relevant to their immediate needs and is designed
to strengthen communication with a mind to
future employment. Any decision to take the
course would involve discussion with the student,
his parents, his Housemaster and English teacher.
It is our aim to be flexible in the planning of this
course, taking into consideration the results at
Level 1, the size and strength of the class, and the
collective interests of the boys and teacher.
It would aim to cover some of the achievement
standards covered by boys in Option 1, but
also includes more internal assessment where
appropriate to balance the smaller external
assessment workload.
