It is built on the foundational concepts in the first two core English units, ESH110 and ESH210, and has a strong focus on the Language and Literacy strands of the Australian Curriculum: English. You will have the opportunity to extend your knowledge of spelling, and to enhance your creative writing and lesson planning skills.
