Course Description

This course is designed to reinforce and expand on the elements of language and expository writing emphasised in Essentials of Communication 1. The course contains three units; Expository Text Analysis, Summary Writing and Language in Context. Through these themes, student teachers are given opportunities to read expository texts and engage in critical analyses, summarisation, research and publication through the use of oral, written and booth presentations. These activities require that student teachers be self-directed and involved learners as lecturers guide them in the process of honing their second-language competencies.
