Higher secondary English literature and composition — analysis, summary and advanced writing skills.
Literature analysis, summary and advanced composition
About this course
In Class 11 students study English literature in depth, write argumentative essays and use advanced vocabulary. This base is central to higher education and university admission.
Many of our students find English hard to understand or speak, because they rarely have regular English conversation outside the classroom. In this course we remove that fear and slowly build an easy friendship with the language.
