Students are expected to have a sufficient level of language ability in English by the time they enter class XI, and the course primarily focuses on developing higher-order language abilities.
For many students, the higher secondary stage will serve as a preparation for university, where a high level of English proficiency may be necessary.

The Core Course should cater to both groups by promoting academic language skills as well as workplace language skills.
