Clayton Second semester 2007 (Day)
The communicative bond between the users of the language has many levels beyond the literal sense of the words and structures. Texts often communicate messages that focus on the world of the sender but they also offer a subtler message that communicates attitudes, feelings, beliefs, values and emotions. These levels of meaning are woven into the message and operate beneath the surface of the content. The unit looks at the way a message is shaped to include the writer's attitudes, beliefs and values and how often this cultural or worldview is hidden beneath the structure and function of the text.
At the completion of this unit it is expected that students, as multilingual speakers, will be able to:
Written (1500 words) : 40%
Test (1 hour) : 15%
Oral Presentation (800 words) : 15%
Participation : 5%
Research Project: 25%
two hours/week
