Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to welcome you to this module and hope that you will find it both interesting
and rewarding. We will do our best to make your study of this module successful. You will
be well on your way to success if you start studying early in the year and resolve to do the
assignments thoroughly and in good time for submission.
Unisa, as a comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), is moving towards
becoming a fully online institution. Therefore, all your study material, assessments and
engagements with your lecturers and fellow students will take place online. However, in
ENG1501, some of your prescribed reading will be made available offline. You will need to
acquaint yourself with both the offline and online components of this module. This tutorial
letter is intended to offer you some guidance in this regard.
Several tutorial letters will be placed on the ENG1501 module site on myModules (myUnisa)
during the year. A tutorial letter is our way of communicating with you about teaching,
learning and assessment. Please make sure you visit this site regularly so that you are
aware of any new material that is available or announcements that have been made.
Tutorial Letter 101 (this letter) contains important information about the scheme of work,
resources and assignments for this module. We urge you to read it carefully and to keep it
at hand when working through the study material, working on your assignments, preparing
for the examination, and addressing questions to your lecturers.
In Tutorial Letter 101, you will find the assignments and assessment criteria as well as
instructions on the preparation and submission of the assignments. This tutorial letter also
provides all the information you need about the prescribed study material and other
resources as well as how to obtain these. Please study this information carefully and make
sure that you obtain the prescribed material as soon as possible. We have also included
certain general and administrative information about this module.
From the outset, we would like to point out that you must read all the tutorial letters you
receive during the year immediately and carefully, as they always contain important, and
sometimes urgent, information.
To succeed at this module, you need to work carefully through the following resources:
• Tutorial Letter 101 as it contains general module and assessment information
• Tutorial Letter 501 which is the primary tuition source that guides you towards achieving
the module outcomes
• Tutorial Letter 102 which functions as a practical step-by-step guide on how to work
through the material and prepare for assignments and the examination. It also contains
additional exercises and writing-skill support. We hope that you will enjoy this module
and wish you all the best!
