Hey guys,
I'm in year 10 and am trying to decide which english VCE i want to do - mainstream english, literature, or english language. I've read a few threads,
this one in particular, however I've noticed that most content on the topic is a bit old and I'm unsure if things have changed since 5-10 years ago. Currently I'm leaning towards EngLang, mainly because the whole linguistics bit interests me, however I want to know:
What are the advantages of doing one over the others?
How hard is each subject?
How rewarding is each subject?
+ any other discussion about the three (I definitely had more questions but I can't remember them
)
Not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I'm at least above average in my class right now. I'm generally pretty good with essay writing, but I think I do fall a bit short with creative writing.
I'd also like to know if there's anything I can do to develop my literacy skills more, specifically grammar and language/vocab. I know reading is usually the best way to go, but with libraries shut and 3 books off amazon equating to 70-something bucks, I've found it pretty hard to find something I'm actually interested in. I also struggle with the feeling that everything I write is crap, which is something that I won't divulge too much into lmao.
Any input is welcome, thanks guys
