Competence at this level will help learners to analyse and make mature judgements about complex, human, personal, social and environmental issues and to express and motivate own opinions.
This unit standard will be useful to learners who communicate confidently and fluently in writing/signing in almost any formal and informal situation. Competence at this level will help learners to analyse and make mature judgements about complex, human, personal, social and environmental issues and to express and motivate own opinions. Learners at this level write/sign expressively and with conviction on topics of interest. They cope well with exploring complex themes and issues in various writing/signing styles that stimulate and maintain the interest of their readers/audience. Through a drafting and editing process their writing/signing shows significant improvement.
