To get into any University course, it is required to pass ENG4U (Grade 12, university level English). Is this a fair choice?
Most students go into programs that have nothing to do with English or literature, therefore why should English be required to get into non English related programs? I think ENG4U should not be a requirement for all entries into university courses.
I think this course should be optional for all those who do not wish to study these types of courses. A way to improve this may be making it a course that the student should complete for better results when applying but not mandatory to take or get into the course.
Do you think it should be mandatory for students to take the ENG4U course to get into to university? Comment why you do or why you don't think so!

I think your opinion is solid and you have a fair point, but have you considered if English could help with your university course regardless of what it's for? To me it just seems like it could help even if it's just by a small amount.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you that English shouldn't be a required course for all university programs, I especially those in non-English fields. I thought your point about completing the course to improve ones chances of admission was really interesting, and I hadn't thought of that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion and that "most students go into programs that have nothing to do with English"and it shouldn't be mandatory to have a grade 12 university level English to be excepted into all university programs.
