I know it's the day before the exam and I'm only just uploading something. But I'm a pro-
procrastinator (sounds like a stutter-doesn't it?) so this is actually pretty early.
Each module has one question, you don't have a choice, you have to do all the questions. Each
question will require you writing an essay worth 25 marks. You do have a word limit of 500
words, well for module 1 and 2 at least. They really let you go crazy for mod 3, so have fun with
it.

Here is a quick list of things they like to keep bringing for Paper 2.

The stuff in green are the topics they absolutely love.

MODULE 1: GATHERING AND PROCESSING INFORMATION

For this section of the paper, they'll give you a an extract of some sort to analyse. It can be from
a story or a newspaper article.

 State writer's main point. They usually give you a word limit (in no more than 30
words...)
 The writer's main purpose. (No it's NOT the same thing!)
 Strategies and language techniques used in the extract (and how effective they are)
 Appropriateness of tone
 Appropriateness of register (whoa it's freaking late)
 Evaluate the reliability of the information

MODULE 2: LANGUAGE AND COMMUNITY

They normally give an extract that includes some ah de Creole and ting from ah book or story,
but sometimes when they're really evil, they might bring a poem (the horror of 2008-it wasn't
that bad. Cool yuh herbs). So don't be surprised if you find a play or poem, or something other
than a prose extract. In this module they ask things specific to the extract, but here are they
general topics they usually ask:

 Attitudes toward language (Standard English/Creole)

 Communication/meaning and technology (how can the communication
process/meaning be enhanced by the use of _______*<-----insert technological device
there*)
 Uses of language
 Social factors influencing language.
  Registers
 Dialectical variation
 Communicative behaviours
 relationship between language and context
 Appropriateness of language

MODULE 3: SPEAKING AND WRITING:

This is the module people generally have the hardest time with, most likely because it involves
a little more thinking. Thinking is hard. I gave you a link to some tips, well to the format at least.
But you lazy bastards probably didn't look twice at it so here it is again http://erratic-
explosions.tumblr.com/CS_Mod3
This module doesn't have an extract to comment on, instead they put you in some kind of
bizarre situation and tell you to do things. For example: You are a marketing exec at Apple, we
have decided to go into the ceramic Buddha industry. Sell our shit.
No word limit. Go fucking crazy with it.
Here's what they look for in that essay:

 Strategies to persuade
 Register and Tone
 Media/Channel to be used
 Targeting different audiences
 Use of language
 Influence of verbal and non-verbal elements on audience
 Visual aids to be used in campaign/presentation
 Strategies to enhance
 Communication challenges

Sometimes they like asking you to actually write the shit as in the speech to be
given/the address to be made. So pay attention to your audience and your register and tone.
If you're asked to write a speech it will probably be a part of a question; the question will most
likely be a two part question. The first part may ask you about anything listed above and the
second part will obviously be the speech.
You obviously cant say - "I'm using formal register"- so rather...use formal register. Adopt the
correct diction that you should use under the circumstance, remember register and tone aren't
 only how you say but what you say.
Example? You are very beautiful vs. Yuh rel bess gyal. It doesn't matter what tone you adopt for
the second one, it's not formal.
Also remember for a speech you have to address the audience. So obviously that kinda
incorporates the whole audience thing in it.

Well good luck in exams AGAIN people!
