Language and text analysis skills and strategies

Students analyse and evaluate personal, social, and cultural perspectives in texts.

For example, they:

• analyse how language features and conventions are used to influence or persuade audiences
• analyse how texts present different perspectives on information, ideas, and opinions
• consider how concepts such as knowledge or authority are conveyed through language choices
• analyse how variations of the English language, and choice of register, convey meaning in different cultures
• examine the use of text structures and language features to achieve particular purposes
• evaluate the relevance and bias of evidence and assumptions in texts
• reflect on personal and cultural values, attitudes, and beliefs.
