ELA 12 is a required one semester course worth 4 credit hours (ELA 121, ELA 122, ELA 123).
In grade 12, English Language Arts learners are expected to listen, view, read, and discuss increasingly complex information and literary texts, representing multiple voices, for enjoyment, learning, advocacy, and personal understanding, collaboratively and independently. With an emphasis on Canadian content, including works by Black, Indigenous and racialized people, learners will be exposed to a wide variety of texts representing diverse voices and perspectives (e.g., 2SLGBTQIA+ neurodiversity, age, gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, and ability). Learners show increasing sophistication in selecting specific strategies to meet their needs whileinteracting, reading, and representing. They understand the learning process and strategies that work for them when creating a variety of texts. Texts include a range of forms, such as written language, musical scores, artwork, mathematical equations, dance, formulae, games, networks, advertisements, recipes, outfits, etc. Lessons are designed to allow for differentiation and support, so all learners have access to equitable learning experiences.
