Assignment 02Due date: 24 June 2024
Compulsory: Yes
This assignment is based on Study Units 1 to 3 in your Tutorial Letter 501 and the relevant
chapters in your prescribed textbooks. Carefully read the specific Study Units to become
familiar with the concepts and specialist terms introduced in this module before you attempt
to answer the assignment questions below. In addition, it is important that you attempt all
the activities in order to establish a sound understanding of how to analyse and interpret the
structure of language, including its functions in selected texts.
Read the extract from a media statement below and answer the questions that follow.
Question 1.
In an essay of 1000 to 1200 words, write a detailed discussion on how the writer has used diction
and register for the purposes of persuading the reader that interventions are required to reverse
learning losses after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Essay
In the media statement, MEC David Maynier uses careful word choices and a formal tone to
convince readers that the #BackOnTrack campaign is needed to fix learning losses from the
COVID-19 pandemic. We will look at how his words and tone highlight the urgency of the
situation, build trust, and encourage everyone to work together.
Maynier's choice of words is key to making his statement persuasive. He uses strong and clear
language, he highlights the serious learning crisis and the urgent need for action. For example,
phrases like "learning losses fell off a cliff" and "full-blown learning crisis" create a vivid picture
of how bad the situation is, showing that things can't stay the same. This choice of words is
meant to make readers feel the urgency and the need to act right away.
