028992 Shaping Meaningful Worlds: Language Texts and Context

Description

This subject aims to develop student capacity to use language appropriately, imaginatively and precisely for a diverse range of purposes, contexts and audiences. The subject emphasises writing for different purposes and audiences, and provides opportunities for students to respond to and compose a wide array of texts with increasing confidence, capability and enjoyment. The subject develops student knowledge, skills and understanding about composing short and extended texts for different purposes, drawing attention to developing effective structures and language, including the effective flow of ideas, paragraphing, sentence construction and vocabulary.
