Activities of the Course
The activities which characterise a Higher English Course arise naturally from the rationale.
In order to develop language-handling skills, to broaden and refine linguistic, literary and media awareness, to extend experience and knowledge, to develop appreciation and to gain pleasure, candidates should engage in a programme of activities of the kinds listed below. These will involve all modes of language and could be undertaken at individual, group or class levels.

Literature
The study of literature should pervade the Course. The system of assessment is designed to allow teachers, lecturers and candidates the freedom to choose the literary texts that will in their view best encourage development and enrichment. The range of drama, prose, poetry, film and TV drama open to candidates in the Literary Study Unit (including Textual Analysis) is intentionally wide. It is desirable that, over the Course as a whole, candidates should come into contact with the main genres of literature, contemporary and earlier works, writings from other cultures in the English-speaking world and, where appropriate, works in translation. In addition, candidates should study at least one Scottish text (or in the case of poetry, a group of short texts).
In order to engage adequately in the activities listed above, candidates should refine and extend their understanding of, and capacity to use, some of the more important features of language, structure and style.

Candidates should also possess:
¨ a critical terminology for discussing prose, poetry and drama with regard to genres and conventions and to the more commonly used rhetorical and poetic devices and metrical patterns
¨ a critical terminology for discussing film and TV drama and other products of the mass media
¨ an understanding of what facilitates/prevents effective communication.
Work on linguistic and literary awareness will normally be undertaken in the context of Course activities. From time to time, however, some direct study and teaching of these concepts may still be required. The important point is that candidates should be able to apply this knowledge in their own use of language and in understanding and responding to the language of others.
