The Communications 11 and 12 Curriculum

The Communications 11 and 12 curriculum is designed for students who do not plan to pursue academic studies beyond Grade 12. The primary goal of the curriculum is to strengthen students' basic skills in comprehending and producing language by providing a framework intended to help students:

• use language competently to understand and respond to communications in spoken, written, and visual forms
• develop the basic reading and writing skills required of informed citizens prepared for employment in a changing workplace
• develop a foundation of communication skills necessary for life-long learning
• use language appropriate to the situation, audience, and purpose in their day-to-day lives and in the workplace
• present and respond to ideas, feelings, and knowledge
• explore literary works as a way of knowing, developing personal values, understanding our literary and multicultural heritage, and broadening experience
