1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this guideline is to briefly guide learners and teachers on the aspects
of writing and presenting. Also, the guideline aims to produce competent, versatile
writers who use their skills to develop and present appropriate written, visual and multi-
media texts for a variety of purposes.
WRITING AND PRESENTING allows learners to construct and communicate thoughts
and ideas coherently. Frequent writing practice across a variety of contexts, tasks and
subject fields enables learners to communicate functionally and creatively. Knowledge
of language structures and conventions will enable learners to produce coherent and
cohesive texts. Language structures should be taught for constructing texts in their
context of use. The application of language structures should not be restricted to the
analysis of isolated sentences. It should explain the way in which sentences are
structured to construct whole texts such as stories, essays, letters and reports which
learners learn to read and write in school.
The above skills, writing and presenting, should be integrated. In integrating these
skills, the focus on one skill can lead to practice in another. For example, a learner
involved in a debate will read an argumentative/discursive essay and then produce his
own written argumentative/discursive essay using language structures.
This guideline may be used by teachers and learners of English Home (HL), First
(FAL) and Second Additional Languages (SAL). Teachers and learners should be
guided by the relevant CAPS document for each language level as this document
covers a range of writing texts.
The writing and presenting skill combines three elements:
• using the writing process;
• learning and applying knowledge of the structure and features of different text
types;
• learning and applying knowledge of paragraph and sentence structure and
punctuation.
