In this course you will explore a range of texts in audio, written and multimodal forms which show how personal, social, historical, authorial and cultural contexts are conveyed and seek to influence the audience. This course enables you to develop a deeper understanding of the ideas, issues and themes that reflect and record human experiences though reading and responding to texts. You will encounter strategies that enhance the capacity to think, analyse, question, and form and defend opinions in response to the diverse texts which will be examined.
