Hiii,
My subject selections are due tonight! And I'm stuck deciding between english and english language for units 1/2. I could also do both as I still need another subject. My current choices are biology 3/4, chemistry 1/2, specialist 1/2 and PE. Both subjects interest me because I'm interested about the origin of languages and things like that. But then I also enjoy the normal english side of things, like analysing books and movies (from what I've done so far)
Help would be appreciated!!
Thank you :)

Hello!
It sounds like you would love doing both! You can always drop one after Year 11 (especially as you said you were completing methods 3/4 in year 12) and it would give you a range of options as well :). English Language is very broad, especially in 1/2, where we have learnt about grammar and the function of language, child language acquisition, the history of English and English on a global scale. Mainstream English is very similar to Year 10 English (at least at my school). The assessments are text response, comparative, analysing argument, point of view oral and a creative piece.
If you found another subject that you want to take, therefore only taking one English I would recommend English Language as you can always hop into Mainstream English at year 12, but not vice versa.
I hope this helps ! :)
EDIT: I just realised you said that they were due last night but nevertheless I hope this can give you and possibly some other people some insight :)

Hey Eloise!
I ended up just putting both english subjects down as there isn't really any other subjects I want to do or continue on into year 12. Like you said, I can always drop one during the year if I change my mind, so I'll just see how I go!
Thanks for your reply ;D
