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.
