Narrabundah College has the widest ranging choice of Tertiary English courses in the ACT. Where else can you take units such as Latin-American Literature, European Classics, Aboriginal Literature, Postmodernism or creative writing. We also offer the units that have proved popular at all colleges such as Children’s Literature, Science Fiction, Fantasy Fiction and Communications. Anyone can find his or her own level of ability and area of interest. Although we have a number of units to offer, students demand largely determines what is offered each session. We also run an Accredited course that involves a substantial degree of choice.
Almost all the students at Narrabundah who are not doing ESL (English as a Second Language) do English; many people take it on two lines.
Any World Literature scores used will be counted in course score calculations(subject to English department moderation processes). All English courses must contain at least one full unit (1.0) from the literature section (or from World Literature) and students are strongly advised to complete a unit from Language and Writing Section.
