Literatures in English
The study of literature promotes understanding of both the individual and mankind in
general. Nothing that is human is foreign to literature, because literature participates
with other disciplines in commenting on, clarifying, and enhancing the human condition.
To study literature, therefore, is to understand how the human imagination, the creative
faculty, works as it responds to diverse experiences.
Through the study of Literature students are encouraged to embrace change, thus
adaptation to a rapidly changing, technologically driven world is possible. These skills
can lead to their success in career opportunities in a variety of fields, including
education, the media, human resource management, corporate communications,
advertising, law and many others.
The CAPEÈ Literatures in English Syllabus comprises two Units, each containing three
Modules corresponding to the three literary genres: Drama, Poetry, and Prose Fiction.
Each Unit incorporates the subject core which comprises the knowledge and
understanding derived from a range of readings; concepts and skills in literary study, and
related assessment objectives. The core comprises four texts drawn from a range of
historical periods between 1370 and the present day. All prescribed core texts are works
originally written in English. The core requires students to study, at least, the following:
1. one play by Shakespeare;
2. one work of Caribbean literature;
3. one work of poetry; and,
4. one work of prose fiction.
Effective for examinations from May–June 2018
