Aims

The Western Australian Curriculum: English aims to ensure that students:

• learn to purposefully and proficiently read, view, listen to, speak, write, create and reflect on increasingly complex texts across a growing range of contexts
• understand how Standard Australian English works in its spoken and written forms, and in combination with non-linguistic forms of communication to create meaning
• develop interest and skills in examining the aesthetic aspects of texts and develop an informed appreciation of literature
• appreciate, enjoy, analyse, evaluate, adapt and use the richness and power of the English language in all its variations to evoke feelings, form ideas and facilitate interaction with others.
