The Year 9 English curriculum is built around the three interrelated strands of language, (knowing about the English language) literature (understanding, appreciating, responding to, analysing and creating literature) and literacy (expanding the repertoire of English usage). Teaching and learning programs balance and integrate all three strands. Together the strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in listening, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating. Learning in English builds on concepts, skills and processes developed in earlier levels, and teachers revisit and strengthen these as needed.

At Year 9 students continue to practise, consolidate and extend what they have learned from previous levels. They also extend their understanding of how language works, and learn to transfer this knowledge to different contexts. To achieve this, students develop an understanding of the requirements of different types of texts; they are introduced to increasingly sophisticated analyses of various kinds of literary, popular culture, and everyday texts, and they are given opportunities to engage with the technical aspects of texts, including those of their own choosing – and to explain why they made that choice.

The notion of valuing certain texts as ‘literature’ is introduced. Students learn how such texts can be discussed and analysed in relation to themes, ideas and historical and cultural contexts. Students engage with a variety of genres and modes. They re-enact, represent and describe texts in order to display their understanding of narrative, theme, purpose, context and argument and to defend their ideas in written and oral modes. Students are given further opportunities to create increasingly sophisticated and multimodal texts in groups and individually.

Although Australia is a linguistically and culturally diverse country, participation in many aspects of Australian life depends on effective communication in Standard Australian English. In addition, proficiency in English is invaluable globally. The English curriculum contributes both to nation-building and to internationalisation, including Australia’s links to Asia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have contributed to Australian society and to its contemporary literature and literary heritage through their distinctive ways of representing and communicating knowledge, traditions and experience.

The Year 9 English course is structured around two ‘big ideas’: ‘exploring and reflecting’ and ‘creating and consolidating’. Through their study and exploration of a range of texts (including a close study of one novel and one Shakespearean play), both units encourage students to reflect upon the human condition and thereby recognise and value the diversity of social and cultural backgrounds and opinions (including marginalised ‘voices’) within our community as well as nationally and globally. By exploring a range of ideas and issues from their in-depth analysis of texts and film, they consolidate their understandings through the creation and presentation of their own original written and multimodal texts. Both units focus on creative self-expression through speaking and listening in a variety of contexts, creative and formal writing, analysis of issues, analytical and persuasive essays, and creating and performing original poetry.

To meet the expected Year 9 achievement standards, throughout Year 9, students will be involved in reading, viewing, listening, writing, creating, comparing, researching, problem solving, reflecting and talking about a range of text types, including intercultural texts. The study of language (e.g. grammar, punctuation, syntax) is integrated across all areas of study. Students learning throughout the year includes the study of:

effective oral communication and active and critical listening
selected short stories; creating an original short story within a selected genre
selected poetry; creating original poetry; performing poetry
one Shakespearean play and its film adaptation
different forms of media text types, including advertising
how language is created by writers and speakers to influence and persuade in different contexts for different purposes and audiences
fiction and non-fiction texts through the wide-reading program, Literature Circles,

Students demonstrate their achievement against the standards of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and from all four learning areas and capabilities of critical and creative thinking, ethical, intercultural, and personal and social capabilitie (which are described below).

Students are set both short and long term assignments which require drafting and revision; tasks are undertaken during class time with homework spent preparing and polishing the task. Parents are encouraged to assist their son to develop sound study habits by regularly monitoring their work and in particular, noting when work is due. To assist in this process, assignments are accompanied by checklist and progress record sheets. Students may not necessarily have nightly English homework due the following day, but they will often have an on-going assignment to work on, and they are expected to regularly engage in nightly wide-reading.

Therefore, the study of English helps our students develop the knowledge and skills needed for VCE, training and the workplace. It helps them become ethical, thoughtful, informed and active members of society and plays an important part in developing the understanding, attitudes and capabilities of those who will take responsibility for Australia’s future.

This study is designed to enable students to develop:

ability to speak, listen, read, view, write create and reflect on increasingly complex and sophisticated spoken, written and multimodal texts with enjoyment, purpose, effect and confidence in a wide range of contexts
knowledge of the ways in which language varies according to context, purpose, audience and content, and the capacity to apply this knowledge
appreciate, enjoy and use the English language in all its variations and develop a sense of its richness and power to evoke feelings, convey information, form ideas, facilitate interaction with others, entertain, persuade and argue
knowledge of the
