Language and text analysis skills and strategies

Students analyse personal, social, and cultural perspectives in texts, including literary texts. They understand and analyse how language features are used to communicate for different purposes.

For example, they:

• understand and analyse language features
• use metalanguage to understand and discuss texts
• describe how different purposes and contexts influence text structures and language features to make meaning, such as how the language of persuasion influences personal choices
• discuss, describe, and explain the effects of stylistic features in texts and how these can influence meaning
• consider different perspectives
• express personal and critical responses to texts or sections of texts
• describe and analyse connections between texts, including similarities and differences
• explain the visual features of texts and interpret graphic representations of data.
