Background:
Students are expected to have acquired a reasonable degree of
language proficiency in English by the time they come to class XII, and the
course will aim, essentially, at promoting the higher-order language skills.
For a large number of students, the higher secondary stage will
be a preparation for the university, where a fairly high degree of proficiency
in English may be required. But for another large group, the higher secondary
stage may be a preparation for entry into the world of work. The Core Course
should cater to both groups by promoting the language skills required for
academic study as well as the language skills required for the workplace.
