US 119456 – Write/present for a defined context (NQF Level 2, Credits 5)

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

Learners credited with this unit standard are able to write/sign to suit a range of contexts. They use complex sentence structures and show/register some control of style and register. Writers/signers can match the choice of text type, structure, tone/sign size and pace and word/sign selection in their writing/signing to the needs of specific audiences. They express themselves reasonably clearly and precisely when writing/signing, and they are willing to explore new forms of writing in thoughtful and organised ways.

Learners at this level also use appropriate language/signing in familiar and unfamiliar situations in their writings/signed narratives and in their written/signed observations and responses based on texts they encounter. They use language appropriate to the socio-cultural, learning or workplace/technical environment as required.
