All East Brunswick students are required to take English every year from grades 7-12. East Brunswick High School Sophomores must take English 10 or English 10 Honors. Juniors must take English 11, English 11 Honors, AP Seminar, or AP Language and Composition.

Each of the required courses emphasizes the major strands of the language arts:

  • Writing—emphasis on expository writing in a variety of modes for a variety of audiences.
  • Speaking—large and small group discussion, individual presentations.
  • Listening—active and purposeful engagement.
  • Viewing—utilization of media literacy.
  • Skills—research skills and application, vocabulary development, grammar/syntax/usage, study skills.

It is strongly recommended that all students enroll in those courses that will optimize the development of lifelong communications skills and the opportunity for further education.
