The term formal letter can be used to entail any written letter for a formal purpose, whether that be a recommendation letter, an invitation letter, a complaint letter and so on.
Any communication that is considered to be official enough to be explicitly written or typed in a letter can be called a formal letter.
The formal letter is an important writing task assigned to candidates of the O and N Level English Language examinations. Knowledge of how to craft such letters is also an important life skill for anyone who has to address an issue or matter respectfully and/or authoritatively. The slides in this presentation are aimed at introducing students and interested persons to the structure, language features and format of formal letters as they are currently conceived. It is my hope that these groups of individuals may find the lecture helpful in guiding them in drafting such formal correspondence for the exams or in real life.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

exist at all: damage, proof, evidence
▪ Confusing a verb with a noun: advise, advice
▪ Use of articles incorrectly or not at all: ‘a’ and ‘the’

act for/ not work for
▪ Use of the wrong preposition 12
