Module B: Texts and Society
This module requires students to explore and analyse texts used
in a specific situation. It assists students’ understanding
of the ways that texts communicate information, ideas, bodies of
knowledge, attitudes and belief systems in ways particular to
specific areas of society. (Reread

Introduction to ESL Elective 2: English for Study
In this elective students explore the kinds of texts that are
widely used in formal learning situations. They respond to and
compose texts appropriate to particular learning situations
relevant to students’ needs and interests. They consider
what these texts imply about the nature of learning institutions
and their requirements.
Students are to supplement this study with texts of their own
choosing related to the elective. The support document,
Studying in English 
, provides exemplars of types of texts
and may further supplement students’ study of this
elective.
