119636 Write/Sign for a Variety of Different Purposes

Aim/Intro

This unit standard will enable learners to produce a range of different text types for different purposes, audiences and contexts. Learners will be able to write/sign reasonably clearly in order to communicate meaning and show some control of grammar and style. Learners will be familiar with a range of structuring devices and conventions that help convey meaning and will develop competence in the writing process by reflecting on and correcting their own written/signed work. They will use language appropriate to the socio-cultural, learning, or workplace/technical environments as required.
