Curriculum content descriptions
Understand how language use can have inclusive and exclusive social effects, and can empower or disempower people (ACELA1564)
Elaborations
- identifying language that seeks to align the listener or reader (for example of course, obviously, as you can imagine)
- identifying the use of first person ‘I’, ‘we’ and second person pronouns ‘you’ to distance or involve the audience, for example in a speech made to a local cultural community
- identifying references to shared assumptions
- identifying appeals to shared cultural knowledge, values and beliefs
- reflecting on experiences of when language includes, distances or marginalises others
- creating texts that represent personal belief systems (such as credos, statements of ethical judgements, guidelines, letters to the editor and blog entries)
