English Language 2009 Roll call!

[/0]

Hey who else is doing English Language out there? Post here, and include your ideal score!

I'm hoping for 45+ in English Language, that would be bloody ripper. Predicting 40-45 though.

Damo17: Hoping for 33+
cns1511: Hoping for 35+
UprightMan: Hoping for 45+, ideally 50
Jackinthepatch - Hoping for 45+
pHysiX - Hoping for 48-50, predicting 43+
appianway - Hoping for 47+
Gloamglozer - Hoping for 45+

Once my school gets subject changes in order i'll be doing it. They are SO slow! I put in my form almost a week ago!

Hoping for 33+, nothing really special. But might expect less or more once I get to know the course content more in depth.

^ Decided on doing another English after all Damo? Would have been so cool to cruise through year 12 with only maths subjects.

Well ex-English Language taker reporting in.

Yeah, hated normal English and got 30 with very little work. Basically put it there to either bump up my ENTER with it in my top 4 if I get a good score or it'll be it me bottom two. I guess it was that smartest choice ENTER wise.

Hoping for 35+, not sure if I'll get close though.

I'm shooting for the skies...45+...ideally 50 =p

@Damo17: I'm pretty sure they don't let you pass VCE without an English subject?  ELang's sounds like it fits you like a glove anyway.  Are you finding it interesting?  I'm having the time of my life lol ... though the next time someone in my class asks the teacher what the hell a verb is I think I'll punch a wall.

I already did mainstream English last year and got 30. I haven't been in any class yet but have done a little from the book and I have to say that it IS REALLY much more interesting that mainstream. I wounder why not many people do eng lang.

[UprightMan]

Oh I see...

I agree with you; I saw my bro do mainstream English and although I'm decent with that stuff, it looked damn repetitive to the things I've been doing since year 8 'cept in depth and once I read the English Language description, I fell in love XD.  From what I gathered with many people who picked mainstream or literature, they were either:
-scared off by the description
-thought that they would play it safe with mainstream
-weren't properly informed
-made a poor/rushed decision

I have a few friends, who, after reading what I'm studying are kicking themselves for picking literature/mainstream over language and in my opinion, so they should.

[jackinthepatch]

I'm doing it. Ideal score - 45+.
It's so much better than normal English.

[pHysiX]

Language pwns mainstream. I did both last year for some crazy reason >.<

Ideal score, 48+, preferably 50. =] But in terms of achievable, I'd say only 43+.

[kurrymuncher]

off topic, sorry:

 My school doesn't offer it, is it harder than normal english?

[jackinthepatch]

Depends on your strengths really. But I would say on a whole it is a bit harder than normal English. Anyone care to agree/disagree?

[UprightMan]

I agree; most of the mainstream stuff is the stuff you've been doing for years (hopefully) and thus you should be very comfortable with it.  From what I saw my brother do, you've gotta dig a bit deeper but English Language is almost an entirely different ball game.  A bit harder, but easily taken in one's stride particularly if you're a logic/analysis sort of person (i.e. a math-type), in my opinion.

[appianway]

Yay for EngLang! I'm aiming for a 47+, but I guess my ultimate goal this year is to develop my understanding of sociolinguistics and enhance my written communication skills.

How many people here are also studying Lit/English?

[Gloamglozer]

Doing English Language this year as well.  Hoping for 45+.

Anyway, what are you doing in class right now?  In my class it feels like we're heading in no direction...
