In preparation for this module candidates need to study:
• the use of register and style
• characteristics of genres and sub-genres
• the impact of language choices (lexis and grammar) and discourse strategies
• the purposes and skills of planning, drafting and redrafting * the use of primary sources and of clear referencing of these materials
• Skills associated with analysing and reviewing
