PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD
 

Learners credited with this unit standard are able to write to suit a range of contexts. They use complex sentence structures and show some control of style and register. Writers can match the choice of text type, structure, tone and word selection in their writing to the needs of specific audiences. They express themselves reasonably clearly and precisely when writing, and they are willing to explore new forms of writing in thoughtful and organised ways.

Learners at this level also use appropriate language in familiar and unfamiliar situations in their writings and in their written observations and responses based on texts they encounter. They use language appropriate to the socio-cultural, learning or workplace/technical environment as required.

Learners credited with this unit standard are able to:

  • write for a specific purpose and audience
  • use grammatical structures and writing conventions to produce coherent and cohesive texts for specific contexts
  • adapt language to suit context
  • draft and edit own writing. 

Unit Standard 8962 Maintain and adapt oral communication (Applied Title: Maintain and adapt oral communication effectively within the Cannabis Sector)

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This unit standard will be useful to learners who need a sound foundation of spoken language ability for further language growth, and for application in real life contexts. Learners talk confidently in both formal and informal contexts and actively listen for ideas and information in interactions with other people. They are aware of the ways others speak to influence listeners and audiences. In conveying their ideas and information they select language and a register that is accessible to their audience and fit for their purpose.

Learners credited with this unit standard are able to:

  • use a variety of strategies to maintain communication
  • adapt speech to accommodate cultural sensitivities without losing own meaning
  • use knowledge of language structures and conventions to shape or decode meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary or constructions
  • organise and present information in a focused and coherent manner
  • identify and explain how speakers influence audiences.
