Greetings, all! Sharon Tzur’s brilliant analysis hits many nails on the head, as they are driven into the lid of the coffin of literature and the love of the English language. I suspect that the true goal of constructing a totally unsuitable exam for our students is to convince the teachers to opt for the literature log. As others have pointed out in previous posts, the MOE saves a considerable amount of money by not having to actually execute the examinations for two modules. It is so much more clever, and thrifty, to have the teachers do all the extra work without having to pay them for it.
