Editor's Notes

  1. Kindly contributed to the Adult Basic Skills Resource Centre http://www.skillsworkshop.org  by Robert Holt, [email_address] Henley College, Coventry. July 2007. Main curriculum links Wt/L1.4 Use language suitable for purpose and audience (a) understand that writers can select language at different levels of complexity, formality and specialism, and depending on context, audience and purpose (b) understand that some types of written communication have specific language associated with them (c) write different texts using the language appropriate to the form of communication and situation, e.g. an advert for a shop window or local paper, a letter of application for a job. Wt/L1.5 Use format and structure for different purposes (a) understand that there are different ways of organising and presenting text, depending on its type and purpose, e.g. paragraphs, numbered lists, bulleted points, charts, tables, sub-headings Wt/L2.4 use format and structure to organise writing for different purposes (a) understand which format, structure and layout are best for which sort of task, e.g. a table to organise information for reference or comparison, numbered points to separate stages in a process, paragraphs to develop an argument (b) understand that some forms of writing follow standard formats and structures, e.g. memos, business letters, agenda and minutes of meetings. Wt/L2.5 use formal and informal language appropriate to purpose and audience (a) understand that formality of language is a continuum, from informal speech with friends and family through to formal official written language (b) know how to judge the appropriate level of formality suitable for different types of writing tasks and contexts, e.g. letter to a friend, safety report.
