Class 12 Semester 3 English Syllabus
West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has taken initiative to revise the curriculum/syllabus of all the subjects with the introduction of Semester System with 2024-25 academic year. In this direction WBCHSE has formed individual subject committees by inducting faculty members from various schools/colleges/universities.
The WBCHSE has developed A Realm of English B Selection as English (Second Language) textbook for Classes XI and XII to be studied in all Government, Government Sponsored, Government Aided and Government Affilliated Schools of West Bengal.
In A Realm of English B Selection, learners are exposed to a wide range of literary English texts. The texts are an interesting mix of classic and contemporary selections of prose and poetry. A play has also been
included in the syllabus for class XII, where serious thought has gone into ensuring that the choice of texts are sensitive, relevant and thought provoking so that students become more insightful and responsive in their reading of literature.
