1 welcome to en2000

Welcome to the Level 2 English (EN2000) course offered by Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu.

individual pathwaysEN2000 is the course that everyone who is aiming for NCEA Level 2 will enroll in. Within the course you will be able to select a range of standards which will help develop your English and literacy skills in a way that suits you best. The course contains all of the English Achievement Standards, and a range of communication skills Unit Standards. These are listed later in this guide. All standards are available for all students.

In order for you to make a quick start with your learning, you will select one of three pathways that you think suits you best. Your choice will determine your first posting material. After that you will be able to determine what you would like to study in consultation with your teacher.

E (Endorsement) A full NCEA pathway with the opportunity to gain endorsement at the Merit or Excellence levels. This course offers internal and external standards and has a focus on literature, making meaning and creating meaning.

I (Internal) An internal standards pathway with a focus on meeting the University Entrance literacy requirement (5 reading and 5 writing credits).

L (Literacy) An internal standards pathway with a focus on literacy skills in a practical context. This pathway has combines communication skills Unit Standards and English Achievement Standards.


how this course is delivered EN2000 is a print-based course, with course material and supplementary material accessed from the online teaching and learning environment (OTLE). Where possible you are encouraged to work within OTLE, and submit work via the OTLE dropboxes.

Dual enrolled students are expected to access material from OTLE. Other enrolled students may request printed materials to be posted, accepting there will be a delay between enrolment and receiving the first posting.

You will receive an email explaining how to log in to OTLE. This email includes a link to set your password if you have not logged into the OTLE before.

You can access OTLE by clicking on www.tekura.school.nz/login. It is recommended that you bookmark this site in your browser. This will take you to a page with links to your courses.

Your username and initial password is your Te Kura student ID number. You will be asked to set a new password when you first log in. After that, if you need to reset your password you can click on the ‘Forgot password’ link on the OTLE login page.

If you have difficulties logging in, please email: [email protected]

organising your studyPlan a regular time to study. Some people learn best from frequent short sessions while others do better with fewer, longer sessions. It is important to have a plan or a timetable and to keep to it. There is a suggested course plan in the back of this guide to help you plan your programme of study. You may wish to consult with your subject teacher to help you decide on your plan.

Getting your study underway is very important. Your first return of work should be two to three weeks after you received your initial work. If you have any issues returning your work within this time, please contact your subject teacher.

For more information on how to study successfully, refer to the Student Guide to Years 11–13 (www.tekura.school.nz).

getting started information2


resources you need • A computer to listen to and/or view extra material on OTLE for booklets EN2001, EN2020,

EN2050, EN2100, EN2047, EN2911, PW9003I and EN2120 Skills Toolbox items (if you do not have access to OTLE, this extra material can be sent to you by your teacher.

• A video camera (or similar recording equipment, such as a phone or webcam) for booklet EN2050.

• A copy of your chosen written text (unless you are a full-time secondary student in which case your teacher will send you a copy).

choosing topics and standardsNZQA advises that a one-year course should lead to 18–20 credits. You may only wish to do some topics. You should look carefully through the pathways available and make your choices. It is important to consider how well a particular pathway will meet your learning goals (such as gaining enough credits to achieve your NCEA Level 2, or meeting the entry requirements for your tertiary course or any future study).

You should discuss this with your learning advisor and/or your teacher.

self-markingMany activities are self-marked. You’ll find an Answer guide in each resource. Use these answers to mark your own work and make corrections where necessary. Self-marking is very important as it gives you instant feedback on how well you understand the ideas, concepts or information that have been covered.

assessmentStudents are required to send in their self-marked and teacher-assessed work. Teachers return students’ work with feedback and advice in preparation for NCEA internal and external assessments.

The detailed criteria for Achievement Standards will be given in the relevant booklets. They can also be found by searching the subject and level in the NCEA part of the NZQA website (www.nzqa.govt.nz) and then finding the relevant standard(s). If there are two assessment opportunities for an Achievement Standard, one is called ‘Y1’ and the other is called ‘Y2’; the two assessment opportunities for Unit Standards are called ‘T1’ and ‘T2’.

External assessment preparation includes the following: • teacher-marked activities

• Te Kura practice examinations.

getting started information


time commitmentEach booklet indicates how many study hours it is likely to require. For example, booklet EN2001 may take approximately 10 hours of work to complete at the normal pace, representing about two weeks of work at five hours per week. Before deciding on the pace of learning, read through this Course and assessment guide and ask yourself the following:

• How much time can I set aside for study each week?

• Will I be able to keep a steady pace of five hours of study each week?

• Will I be attempting externally and internally assessed standards?

• Do I intend to sit the external examination at the end of the year?

• Do I need specific external or internal credits for next year’s study or work?

normal pace of learningAs a guide, expect to do at least five hours work per week. You should aim to complete three to four booklets each term.

flexible pace of learningIf you have less than a year because you start later or need to finish earlier, you can decide the pace at which you work. You could still complete the whole course by devoting more time and effort to it. Your teacher can ensure that you receive the resources you need in time to do this.

cover sheetsThe back cover of the booklet becomes the cover sheet for your work. Fill it in, sign it and attach to the front of your work before sending back to Te Kura. If applicable, your supervisor also signs this sheet as part of our authenticity requirements.

All students are encouraged to submit as much as possible of their work online via the OTLE Dropbox. When work requires authentication, students will follow the instructions provided in OTLE.

queries about your workIt is important to contact your teacher if you have any queries about your work. It helps to have your ID number, booklet code (for example, EN2001) and the activity or question number when you contact your teacher, but it is not essential.

The best way to study is to maintain regular contact with your teacher. This is easiest to do electronically through OTLE and other electronic means, even if you are receiving print materials.

possible pathways through this subjectThe charts in the ‘My Course Planner’ section outline the progress you might make through the booklets over the year for each of the three pathways.



literacy requirements for university entranceTo gain University Entrance you need five reading credits and five writing credits at NCEA Level 2. These can be gained from a wide range of Achievement Standards in many subjects. Check the NZQA website to find out which standards count (keywords: NCEA, University Entrance, literacy requirements). The English standards that count for literacy are indicated in the EN2000 pathway outline.

examinationsIf you plan to work towards the external examination, you will sit a Te Kura practice exam in Term 3, and the final NZQA exam in November. By that time you need will to have completed the relevant booklets: at least one from EN2043–EN2049(written text), EN2020(film) and EN2030 (Unfamiliar text). It is important that you keep this in mind and allow yourself time for revision before the exam.



en2000 pathway outline3

As outlined in the first chapter of this course and assessment guide, there are three pathways that are offered within EN2000. Below are suggested programmes for each of these pathways.

These programmes are flexible and you may wish to complete more or less Achievement and/or Unit Standards, depending on your needs and preferences. You may want to develop your own pathway using the standards in a different combination, or in combination with another subject.

It is important to plan your programme in consultation with your teacher.

assessment summary


assessment information

standardsThe National Qualifications Framework has two types of national standards: Achievement and Unit Standards. Credits from both Achievement Standards and Unit Standards count towards NCEA.

Please refer to our Student Guide to National Certificates or Te Kura (www.tekura.school.nz) and NZQA websites (www.nzqa.govt.nz) for more information about National Certificates of Educational Achievement, and assessment.

internal assessmentSome Achievement Standards are internally assessed. This means that the teachers set and mark all assessments that count towards credits gained for these standards.

external assessmentExternal assessment means that an external examiner marks your assessment work. This may be through the NZQA examinations at the end of the year or (for subjects such as Graphics, Technology and Art) by submitting a portfolio or project. You will be able to complete practice assessments and Te Kura examinations for external standards.

te kura practice examinationsStudents should complete the Te Kura practice examinations for any external standards with an end of year examination they have entered. It is important that students complete all practice external assessments and examinations. If for some reason, such as illness, you are unable to sit the NZQA examinations at the end of the year you will only be eligible for consideration for a derived grade (compassionate consideration) if you have completed the Te Kura practice examinations.

resubmissionsIf you have made mistakes in your standard assessment, your teacher may offer you one resubmission opportunity. This means you have made errors that you are capable of discovering and correcting by yourself. A resubmission allows you to improve your result. further assessment opportunities for internal assessmentsFor some standards, you will be able to complete a second assessment called a ‘further assessment opportunity’ to improve your results. These standards are indicated in the assessment summary. You should take this opportunity where it is available.

authenticity Authenticity means students complete and submit work that is their own. When you submit work to Te Kura, you sign an authentication declaration that the work you are submitting is your own work and was done under the required assessment conditions. Your supervisor signs to confirm this declaration.

When submitting work online via the OTLE Dropbox, if it requires authentication, students must follow the instructions provided in OTLE.

assessment information

derived grades (compassionate consideration)If for any unexpected reason you are not able to sit your end of year examination or to submit final work towards an external standard (portfolios or projects), you may be eligible for a derived grade. Please refer to the Student Guide to National Certificates and contact your teacher or learning advisor as soon as possible to find out more should you feel this is necessary.

appealsYou have the right to query an assessment result if you want further clarification or disagree with the result. If you are still not satisfied, you may appeal. Refer to the Student Guide to National Certificates for more information. You can also appeal any other decisions, procedures or policies about assessments. Contact your teacher or learning advisor if you wish to appeal.
