PREREQUISITES: NONE
COURSE DESCRIPTION: English IV: Communication for Life* is a nontraditional course that integrates the standards of writing, reading, viewing/representing, and speaking/listening with a rigorous hands-on, workplace-oriented approach. Students will comprehend and produce a wide variety of texts; recognize and create practical and persuasive forms of communication; and use appropriate technology and media forms. The course emphasizes communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills necessary to enable students to deal effectively with cultural and ethnic diversity in a rapidly changing world.

English IV: Communication for Life is a course for students with average or above-average skills, who may or may not be college bound. This is not a remedial course.

The standards and learning expectations of this course refer to student behaviors such as speaking and listening. The developers recognize that not all students use the same modalities for such behaviors. Assessment of student competence will be tailored to the appropriate modality for performance of the student.

*The school may opt to offer the course for an English III credit instead of English IV.
