USING LANGUAGE TO PERSUADE
3. Using Language to Persuade
The focus of this area of study is on the analysis and comparison of the use of language in texts that debate a topical issue which has appeared in the Australian media since 1 September of the previous year. Students read, view and listen to texts such as feature articles and opinion columns, cartoons, editorials, letters to the editor, interviews on current affairs programs, websites and CD-ROMs, speeches, excerpts from online focus and discussion groups, and advertisements in magazines and newspapers, and on websites and television. They analyse and compare the ways in which verbal and non-verbal (including visual) language of these texts is used to persuade readers and viewers to share the point/s of view being presented.
This unit looks at an issue and examines how language is used to persuade. During this unit, you will learn about a current issue, understand different viewpoints, identify contentions and analyse how language is used to persuade the reader.
The assessment involves reading and annotating two articles, and writing an analytical essay comparing them and critiquing their effectiveness.
