Students learn about personal and public discourses in workplaces, fields of study, trades and social groups. In this study students read widely to develop their analytical skills and understanding of linguistics. Students are expected to study a range of texts, including publications and public commentary about language in print and multimodal form. Students also observe and discuss contemporary language in use, as well as consider a range of written and spoken texts.  \nUNIT 1  \nArea of Study 1  \nThe nature and functions of language  \nIn this area of study students explore the nature of language and the various functions that language performs in a range of Australian and other contexts. They consider the properties that distinguish human communication as unique, the differences between the modes of spoken and written language, and the relationship between meaning and conventions that govern language use. Students are introduced to the theory that language is a system of signs and conventions, and that while the relationship between words and meanings may be arbitrary, our use of language is governed by conventions and informed by accepted systems.  \nArea of Study 2  \nLanguage acquisition  \nThis area of study focuses on the developmental stages of language acquisition, both first-and additional-language learning. Students explore how, in addition to words and their meanings, people learn to use the phonological and grammatical conventions of the language, as well as the appropriate use of these conventions in different situational contexts.  \nUNIT 2  \nArea of Study 1  \nEnglish across time  \nThis area of study examines the changes that have occurred in English over time. Students investigate the factors that bring about language change, including those that come from contact with other languages, from social and technological transformation, and from within the language itself. They explore language change across some subsystems of language as represented in texts.  \nArea of Study 2  \nEnglishes in contact  \nIn this area of study students consider the effects of the global spread of English by learning about both the development and decline of languages as a result of English contact, the elevation of English as a global lingua franca and the cultural consequences of language contact. Students explore the many ways English is used as an expression of identity and culture in written and spoken texts.  \nINFORMATION GUIDE  \nCAREER OPTIONS  \n• Curator  \n• Editor  \n• Education Officer  \n• Journalist  \n• Librarian  \n• Researcher  \n• Speech Therapist  \n• Teacher  \n• Television Presenter  \nUNIT 3  \nArea of Study 1  \nInformality  \nIn this area of study students consider the way speakers and writers choose from a repertoire of language to vary the style of their language to suit particular purposes. They identify the function and consider and analyse the features of informal language in written, spoken and electronic interactions, understanding that the situational and cultural contexts of an exchange influence the language used.  \nArea of Study 2  \nFormality  \nIn this area of study students consider the way speakers and writers choose from a repertoire of language to  \nsuit particular purposes. As with informal language, the situational and cultural contexts determine whether people use formal language and in which language mode they choose to communicate.  \nUNIT 4  \nArea of Study 1  \nLanguage variation in Australian society  \nThis area of study enables students to examine the range of language varieties that exist in contemporary Australian society and the role of those varieties in contributing to an increasingly contested national identity.
