PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE

Learners at this level write/present/sign texts with complex subject matter and a need for various levels of formality in language and construction. They select text type, subject matter and language to suit specific audiences, purposes and contexts. Writers/signers can use linguistic structures and features to influence readers/their audience. They draft, redraft and edit own writing/signing to meet the demands of a range of text-types. They use language appropriate to the socio-cultural, learning or workplace/technical environment as required. They explore presentation techniques as an alternative to writing/signing own texts.

At the end of this course, the learner will be capable of:

• Write/sign for a specified audience and purpose.
• Use language structures and features to produce coherent and cohesive texts for a wide range of contexts.
• Draft own writing/signing and edit to improve clarity and correctness.
