  11. OUTCOMES BASED EDUCATION • All three of the English options will be all or partially outcomes based in 2007 • English started with the year 11 students in 2006 this year • EALD and TTC will be partially outcomes based next year

  12. THE ENGLISH COURSES OF STUDY • All 3 courses use basically the same skills and assess 4 outcomes. • The outcomes may have different titles but they all involve the skills of: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing • Students study texts and produce their own texts

  13. OUTCOMES BASED ENGLISH COURSES • All students must complete 4 units of English to graduate and achieve their WACE • They are now able to move from unit to unit as long as they complete 4 units – 1 each semester
