English For CBSE Class 9th
Course Description
English Communicative vs English Language & Literature
Here is a comparative study about the two subjects offered by CBSE and NCERT in CBSE schools in India and outside India.
English Communicative | English Language & Literature |
---|---|
Curriculum designed by CBSE | Curriculum designed by NCERT |
Mostly followed by KVs and Private Schools | Mostly followed by government schools |
Considered difficult syllabus as compared to English language and literature but actually both have same syllabus in terms of Reading, Writing and Grammar. | Considered easy syllabus as compared to English Communicative but in reality, it has more chapters as compare to English Communicative and all other sections are common. |
Two novels to study in addition to literature book and main course book. | Same novels here but CBSE as discontinued them this year (2018-19) onwards. So, it is now a bit easy. |
There was a main course book. However no direct question was asked from MCB in exam. | No main course book but NCERT is preparing one this year. |
