REMEMBER

This module requires students to explore the uses of language. It aims to develop students' awareness of language and helps with the understanding of how perceptions of and relationships with others and the world are shaped in written, spoken and visual language. 

In responding and composing, students explore the ways the images we see and/or visualise in texts are created through language. Students consider how the forms and features and language of different texts create these images, affect interpretation and shape meaning.
