Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

VCE Literature

What is the main difference between VCE Literature and VCE English?

VCE English focuses on analyzing the meaning of texts and how language is used to persuade. VCE Literature goes further by analyzing how a text is constructed to create meaning, applying various literary theories to interpret it at a higher academic level.

Do I need to be a bookworm to do well in VCE Literature?

A passion for reading is essential. However, the subject emphasizes depth over quantity. It’s not about how many books you’ve read, but rather how deeply you can analyze and engage with complex ideas.

What is literary theory, and why is it important?

Literary theory provides different “lenses” (e.g., Feminist Criticism, Psychoanalytic Theory, Marxism) through which we interpret texts. These frameworks allow you to conduct more profound and scholarly analyses.

How does Intertu help students develop their own personal voice in writing?

Our teachers engage in in-depth discussions with students, challenging their initial interpretations and guiding them to build complex, multi-dimensional arguments. We teach students how to find their own unique perspective and support it with concrete textual evidence.

What are the future benefits of studying VCE Literature?

This subject develops exceptional critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills. It is highly regarded for university courses in Law, Humanities, Journalism, Communications, Arts, and any field that requires sophisticated reasoning and interpretation.

How are tuition fees for VCE Literature at Intertu calculated?

Tuition fees for VCE Literature at Intertu Education depend on the number of study hours and the chosen level of support (Standard, Premium, Platinum), ensuring the best fit for each student’s needs and goals. For a detailed quotation, please contact Intertu’s advisory team directly.
