VCE Literature study guide

VCE Literature is a Victorian Certificate of Education study accredited for the period from 2023, described by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority as covering Units 1 to 4, with areas of study, outcomes and assessment set out in the VCE Literature Study Design (updated November 2023). It suits senior secondary students who want to read closely, interpret literary texts and produce analytical and creative responses rather than focus on language acquisition alone. The study is organised around reading and exploring texts and around crafting texts and responding to texts, so candidates should expect to discuss how authors shape meaning through structure, style and language, and to write in a range of forms. Preparation should begin with the official study design, which lists the areas of study and outcomes, and with the VCAA support materials that include planning guidance, a text list, implementation videos, sample learning activities for Units 1 to 4, general assessment advice and school-based assessment information. The VCE Literature study guide has 2 sections and about 870 words.
