1. PREFACE
Welcome to English 2611 Applied English Language for Foundation and Intermediate
Phase: First Additional Language.
The module content was developed in close-alignment with the relevant CAPS documents.
The content learnt and the skills acquired in this module are thus appropriate in terms of
equipping teachers to specifically teach the Foundation and Intermediate Phases. Although
the material is closely aligned to CAPS outcomes and requirements, the content and skills
are general and would meet the needs of any student interested in furthering their
knowledge and skills of English Studies.
This module adopts an integrated and multimodal approach in the use of language systems,
literature and visuals in order to develop your analytical, critical reading and writing skills.
As this is an Applied English Language Studies module, emphasis will be on development
of disciplinary content knowledge and the application thereof in analysing a variety of
literary, non-literary, visual texts.
The units in this module have been designed to follow a logical sequence in terms of skills
acquisition, with some cross-references to points raised in previous units. There are many
activities as practice makes perfect. There are also lots of activities, as practice makes
perfect. Some are self-assessment activities, while for others we have provided feedback;
attempt them all to gain as much knowledge as possible. We enjoyed preparing the units
for you, so we hope you enjoy acquiring the knowledge they contain.
