Course Content

Unit 1: Write/sign for a specified audience and purpose

The purpose for writing/signing, the target audience and the context are clear in relation to the learning task or activity.
The text-type, style, and register selected are appropriate for the audience, purpose and context.
Language appropriate to socio-cultural sensitivities is selected and used in an appropriate manner without compromising the author’s own values or arguments.
Writing/signing is well-structured and conveys its message clearly.
(Incl 1.6) Critical thinking skills are used as strategies for planning.
(1.7) Research skills are evident in the way data and information relevant to the context is identified, located, selected and synthesised for inclusion in the final text.

Unit 2: Use language structures and features to produce coherent and cohesive texts for a wide range of contexts

Meaning is clearly expressed through the use of a range of sentence structures, lengths and types.
The use of paragraph conventions and links between paragraphs in texts, promotes coherence and cohesion in writing/signing. Their use is explained with reference to logical progression, cause and effect and/or contrast.
The overall structure of a piece of writing/signing is controlled and the conclusion is clearly formulated.

Unit 3: Draft own writing/signing and edit to improve clarity and correctness

Writing/signing produced is appropriate to the audience, purpose and context. Corrections are an improvement on the original.
Control of grammar, diction/clarity of sign, sentence and paragraph structure is checked and adapted for consistency.
Logical sequencing of ideas and overall unity are achieved through redrafting.
There is clear evidence that major grammatical and linguistic errors are edited out in redrafts.
Inappropriate or potentially offensive language is identified and adapted/removed.
