COURSE PURPOSE
Learners credited with this unit standard are able to write or sign to suit a range of contexts, using complex sentence structures and demonstrating some control of style and register. They effectively match their choice of text type, structure, tone, sign size, pace, and word or sign selection to meet the needs of specific audiences. Their writing and signing are reasonably clear and precise, and they are willing to explore new forms of writing in thoughtful and organised ways. Additionally, learners use appropriate language or signing in both familiar and unfamiliar situations within their written or signed narratives, and in their observations and responses based on the texts they encounter, adapting their language to fit the socio-cultural, learning, or workplace/technical environment as required.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Learners credited with this unit standard are proficient in writing or signing with a clear understanding of the specific purpose, audience, and context they are addressing. They effectively utilise grammatical structures and adhere to writing or signing conventions to produce texts that are coherent and cohesive, ensuring that their communication is well-structured and appropriate for the intended context. These learners are adept at adapting their language to fit different situations, whether familiar or unfamiliar, and they demonstrate a strong ability to draft and edit their own work. This involves refining their writing or signing to enhance clarity, precision, and overall effectiveness, ensuring that their communication meets the needs of their audience and achieves its intended purpose.
