Curriculum content descriptions
Describe the interrelationship between text types, language choices, audience, context and purpose, and identify the role culture plays in the creation and interpretation of texts
[Key concepts: connections, textual conventions, text types; Key processes: structuring, applying, describing, transforming]
(ACLGEU184)
Elaborations
- applying knowledge of text structure and organisation and the interrelationship of audience, context and purpose to assist in comprehension of texts and in creating own texts
- understanding, creating and transforming texts with different purposes (to persuade, to entertain), different audiences (children, adolescents, German speakers, Australians) and different forms (an editorial, a blog)
- identifying how grammatical choices, words and images combine in a text to achieve particular intentions and effects, for example, the positioning of the reader in advertisements by the use of personal pronouns, imperative/interrogative verb forms and emotive language and aspirational images
- comparing German and English versions of texts with easily recognisable language features, such as love songs, recipes or horoscopes, noticing differences or similarities in imagery or focus that might be culturally significant
