Ms. Qureshi' s Interview :

In this class, they are preparing for university. I will teach them how to write well and read well so students are prepared for the university application. They write notes and work on projects in my class. My teaching style is simple: straightforward to the point, and I connect with the students so make sure they found out some questions that are confusing. Students can come and ask me. Be focused, not always day dreaming in class, and finish their homework on time. Then you can easily get a free profession. In the free time that is in my class, my students are taking English with their friends and they are actually preparing for university. I can tell because I can see them actually doing something related to English. There are usually about 25 students in English class, some smaller class will be about 15–20 students, and larger class will be about 30 students. It depends on how many students are in this grade.

Conclusion

What is English Literature(Article 1)
English literature in higher grades helps students explore more advanced and meaningful aspects of the English language. In this teacher’s class, students study novels, poems, plays, and essays to build stronger reading, writing, and critical-thinking skills abilities that are essential in today’s global environment. Beyond skill development, English literature also encourages creativity, new perspectives, and innovative thinking. By learning from different stories and ideas, students not only improve academically but also grow in their understanding of the world.

Grade 11 English Literature(Article 2)
In Grade 11, English Literature becomes more challenging, but it is still easier than Grade 12. This course prepares students for senior-level English by helping them build stronger reading, writing, and thinking skills. It also promotes understanding and empathy by introducing students to a variety of stories and perspectives. Through these texts, students learn to reflect on culture, express their own feelings and experiences, and enjoy the value of literature. Overall, Grade 11 English Literature serves as an important step toward Grade 12.   

How many english class you need in grade 12(Article 3)
In Grade 12, students must choose one of three English courses: English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12, or Literary Studies 12. Each course offers a different focus, so students can pick the one that best fits their interests and learning needs. There are also two English electives for anyone who wants to explore the subject further. These electives allow students to build stronger reading, writing, or analytical skills and learn more about specific areas of English.

Why grade 12 english is hard(Article 4)
After Grade 12, the path most students take leads to college, university, or immediate employment—a significant transition that marks the shift from adolescence into early adulthood. This change is one of the main reasons why Grade 12 English is fundamentally more demanding. The course is designed to prepare students for the expectations they will face beyond high school, which means assignments often require deeper analysis, stronger critical-thinking skills, and more advanced communication abilities. Students are expected to interpret complex texts, support their ideas with well-developed arguments, and write with clarity and sophistication. In addition, teachers place greater emphasis on independent work, time management, and the ability to express original insight—skills that are essential for success in higher education and the workplace. As a result, Grade 12 English becomes not just another class, but a crucial stepping stone that challenges students to grow academically and personally.
