I've heard my English teacher talking about this and I feel like they've made it harder (obvs personal opinion, I'm just 16 don't come for me ) I've heard they're introducing more indigenous texts and students can't be holistic with Indigenous texts. On top of that, the teachers will have to relearn the syllabus and majority of them will not have the same knowledge. My teacher also mentioned that some of the work they've heard will be assessed, including Aboriginal native language, and I feel like that would be difficult to answer questions and understand in the HSC exam.Idek what section this will be in but that's all I've heard. The one thing that sucks is putting Othello in year 12, that was the easiest text ever now cmon

Same, honestly feel so sorry for everyone in 2027 onwards. Some of my cousins who are sitting their HSCs next year are pissed about the changes too, but they feel lucky they'll be the last cohorts with the decent syllabus.

While a lot of you are annoyed about the Advanced syllabus, at least they have added some very different texts that allow for deeper analysis such as Question 7 in Common Mod and The Prince and Julius Caesar as a pairing in Mod A. The extension changes are far more concerning in my opinion as while they have tried to ensure the electives are less focused on -isms a lot of depth has been lost. Finally, while understandably the addition of texts composed by Indigenous Australian authors has sparked conversation, I think there are some truly brilliant texts here that shouldn’t be discounted simply because you view them as a means of enacting the government / NESA’s agenda. Dropbear for example is fantastic despite questions I have about the Hybrid Worlds module as a whole. All in all while it is good that there is debate and concern about the changes, it is definitely not all bad, and the introduction of contemporary acclaimed texts will shift the style of students’ analysis, but in no way will it lessen the sophistication of the ideas they discuss and express.

not only is it a lack of resources, it’s going to be a lot of teacher’s first time reading/teaching some of the texts. One thing that makes the new syllabus slightly difficult for the 2027 HSC students (even 2028,2029) is that their analysis will be placed at a disadvantage as the one’s being written studying the 2017 syllabus. This is not about the ability of students but rather because teaching the syllabus requires in length discussions amongst interschool faculties about ideas, key concepts, synthesising threads between texts along with how to combine research of (now) contemporary context into analysis. It’s not only resources from previous students but from HSC markers and teaching materials that would be absent. We’re only giving teachers 2 years until they have to teach the new material to to HSC students. But I guess every syllabus change would require a transition period.

stop freaking out this happens with every syllabus change. the 2019 people may have had some texts from previous years but the modules were completely scambled so past analysis was made null. take 1984 which used to be in this module about power and politics, moved to human experiences. analysis from the former would def not apply to the latter the same way

 

[synthesisFR]

I'm also annoyed that they removed 1984 from the syllabus because it's an essential text that makes crucial points on the dangers of totalitarianism and how it subverts the truth, eradicates independent thought, destroys real human connection etc. In a world where tensions for WWIII are rising, I think a text like 1984 is more relevant now than ever and it's a huge mistake to replace it with lesser known Australian texts which don't explore these concepts with the same level of sophistication, depth and intensity.

first the social media ban and now this (i see a pattern)

english is the only way they can indoctrinate everyone, that's why it was made compulsory by the socialists of nsw.
