Level 2 English for Academic Purposes

Level 2 English for Academic Purposes is a course for Year 12 students who want to improve their academic English skills. They will develop academic essay writing, oral presentation skills and the ability to read academic texts.

Students will be assessed through three English for Academic Purposes unit standards (16 Level 3 NCEA credits in total).

Eligible English Language Learners and International Fee-Paying students can obtain Level 1 Literacy in 2025 from the reading and writing standards as an alternative to the Literacy Common Assessment Tasks.  In this case, the 11 credits would count towards Level 1 Literacy instead of Level 3 NCEA.

The course is designed for English language learners, but entry can be negotiable for other students who wish to pursue academic English for future studies.
