1.0 PREAMBLE
1.1 Introduction
The Forms 1 to 4 Literature in English syllabus outlines areas to be covered in the learning of Literature in English. Literature is an ideological tool which is used to create self-awareness, inculcate the principle of inclu-sivity and acceptable attitudes, values and habits. The Literature in English syllabus focuses on the literary qual-ities of imaginative prose, poetry and drama from which Unhu/Ubuntu/Vumunhu (societal norms and values), identity and the prevailing ideological framework are promoted in the learner. It generates interest in literature in general and Zimbabwean literature in particular, so as to help learners acquire knowledge about themselves and their society as well as other societies.
1.2 Rationale
The syllabus is intended to capture the experiences of Zimbabweans, Africans and other peoples of the world. It builds on the foundation laid at Infant and Junior Levels and also lays a broad foundation for Advanced Level Literature and imparts life-long skills of appreciating literature and literary works. It provides sound back-ground knowledge for ‘A’ level literature. The syllabus promotes environmental and heritage awareness. The learners’ knowledge of literature enables them to tackle life situations with a critical eye, at the same time handle social relations humanely. The syllabus promotes enterprise skills through creative writing and audio-visual performances.
1.3 Summary of Content
The Forms 1 to 4 Literature in English syllabus covers literature from Zimbabwe, Africa and the rest of the world. The emphasis is on Zimbabwean literary heritage which is traceable in pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial phases. The syllabus will encompass the study of drama, prose and poetry
