In this module students focus on a particular aspect of language such as

• Telling stories (narrative)
• Dialogue (speech)
• Image.

Students become more aware of the use of language - written, spoken and visual language - and how it impacts on the way that we perceive others and the relationships that we develop with others and the world.

Students study a prescribed text in relation to a particular aspect of language. This forms the basis of a study of the use of this aspect of language in other texts. This can include drawing on student's own experiences.

Students will study language structures and features in:

• their prescribed text.
• other texts, which may include
• situations from their everyday lives.

The study of language structures and features includes the conventions of:

• textual forms
• language modes
• chosen media

and their role in shaping meaning.
