Approaches
Methods
There will be a place for class, group and individual teaching. Sometimes the class lesson or lecture will have its place when, for example, introducing a text, offering an overview, or demonstrating possible structures. Teachers/lecturers will also recognise the continuing importance of the group as a focus for collaborative activities, including group discussion. Individual study, occasionally supported by the teacher/lecturer, will provide the increasing independence which the Course seeks to foster.
Independent study
The Course should encourage candidates to engage in independent study as an end in itself and also as an essential preparation for further studies or for the world of work and leisure and encourage candidates to take responsibility for their own learning.
Talking and listening
Candidates should be offered opportunities to try out ideas in discussion, to test opinions, to modify or defend their own statements and to respond to the ideas put forward by others in lively debate. They should be encouraged to challenge assumptions and assertions. Talk also acts as a stimulus for writing, as a means of assimilating reading, listening and viewing, and as a method of eliciting information. Discussion in groups is a valuable means of support for pupils in exploring and clarifying ideas about texts. For these reasons, the fostering of oral and aural skills will be an important aspect of the Course.
Reading
Candidates should be encouraged to develop their strategies for both close and extended reading. Over the entire Course, texts for study should be drawn not only from imaginative literature but also from journalism and other transactional writings. Starter papers and oral presentations to stimulate group discussions can illuminate major concerns of the text. Writing or speaking about a text, even at an early stage of its study, helps candidates to explore it. By means of such activities, command of critical concepts and vocabulary can be strengthened. Contextualised study and discussion can be supported by direct teaching and the use of appropriate reference books. Some texts benefit from audio-visual presentation.
Writing
Writing is predominantly a private activity, involving experimentation with different models and styles, experience of redrafting and study of established writers’ products. Collaborative approaches to writing which are most valuable are, for example, the recording by one writer of the opinions of a group in order to report to a larger audience, a group working through an exercise involving close reading, one-to-one discussion, writing workshops, visits by professional writers.
