English as a Lingua Franca
This topic took a brief look at global English; English as a lingua franca.
English is unique in that it is the first truly global lingua franca. No other language has ever enjoyed the same degree of reach and assimilation. Almost sixty sovereign states designate English as one of their official languages and it’s the most studied language in the world. Business, government, and science hold great influence over the evolution of language. Exceptional command of the English language features in the skillset of world-class translators and interpreters. And nearly every kind of professional needs at least a basic level of English training. We explored the steps that led up to the adoption of English as a new international language.

Lord of the Flies (EXAM TOPIC)
This topic involved a through-going analysis and interpretation of William Golding's novel ‘Lord of the Flies'. We read the work in its entirety, placing it first briefly within the tradition of utopian and dystopian fiction. We then focussed on the problem of evil in the novel and the psychological mechanisms at work in the various characters and the dynamic within the group. We approached the novel with the help of new critical analysis and ideological critical analysis, focussing on setting, character, conflict, theme, symbolism and message, and the insight the novel gives us into the values, norms and power relations governing society in the postwar era in the United Kingdom.
CORE TEXT:
William Golding, Lord of the Flies.

Gender Issues (EXAM TOPIC)
This topic looked at gender issues in English speaking countries and cultures, touching on perceptions of gender roles, changing perceptions of gender identity, and the problem of toxic masculinity. We began by watching the film 'Barbie' and reading articles that praised and criticised it. We discussed the extent to which it can be understood as a feminist film. The topic also focussed on gender attitudes in contemporary Australia, reflected in the works of writer Tim Winton and in the documentary film 'Hotel Coolgardie', which followed the fortunes of two Scandinavian girls backpacking in Western Australia. The topic concluded with a look at transgenderism and transgender issues.

India and the Empire (EXAM TOPIC)
This topic examined the relations between the colonialists and those colonised during the period of British rule in India. We did this chiefly through the study of literature written by those who experienced colonialism on the Indian sub-continent first hand, both from the point of view of the British and the Indians. The topic touched on the topic of Indian independence, and some elementary background in postcolonialism and postcolonial literature.
