Nelson English for QCE Units 1 & 2 provides thorough grounding in effectively reading texts, perspectives, characterisation, aesthetic features and stylistic devices to provide a complete course and strong foundation for the new QCAA Senior English syllabus.
The guide provides opportunities for students to engage with and respond to a variety of classical and contemporary literary and non-literary texts and regular activities allow students to explore three interrelated areas of study: texts in context, language and textual analysis and responding to and creating texts.
