PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The purpose of this unit standard is to facilitate learning and to ensure that learners are able to cope with learning in the context of learnerships, skills programmes, and other learning programmes. Many adult learners in the FET band have not been in a learning situation for a long time, and need learning and study strategies and skills to enable successful progression.

Learners competent at this level will be able to deal with learning materials, to access and use useful resources, to seek clarification and help when necessary, and apply a range of learning strategies. They do this with an understanding of the features and processes of the workplace and occupations to which their learning programme refer.

Learners credited with this standard are able to:
  • Find and use suitable learning resources
  • Use learning strategies
  • Manage occupational learning programme materials
  • Plan and gather relevant information for use in a given context
  • Function in a team
  • Reflect on how characteristics of the workplace and occupational context affect learning 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The credit calculation is based on the assumption that learners are already competent in terms of the full spectrum of language knowledge and communication skills laid down in the Revised National Curriculum Statements up to and including GETC, or the unit standards at NQF level 1. 

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    Learning materials appropriate to the learners in a given context.

    Moderation Option:
  • The moderation requirements of the relevant ETQA must be met in order to award credit to learners for this unit standard. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE 
    The essential embedded knowledge will be assessed through assessment of the specific outcomes in terms of assessment criteria.

    Learners can understand and explain that language has certain features and conventions, which can be managed for learning purposes. Learners are aware that there are skills, strategies and resources, which will facilitate learning. They are familiar with the workplace context in which their learning will be applied.

    Learners are unlikely to achieve all the specific outcomes to the standards described in the assessment criteria without knowledge of the listed embedded knowledge. This means that for the most part, the possession or lack of the knowledge can be directly inferred from the quality of the learner's performance. Where direct assessment of knowledge is required, assessment criteria have been included in the body of the unit standard. The following embedded knowledge should be taken into consideration: the ability to interpret maps, take notes, the ability to read/view texts, appropriate communication skills and the location of learning resources.

    UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA 
    Assessors should keep the following general principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this unit standard:
  • Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the person competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, then focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the candidate is able to perform in the real situation.
  • Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria.
  • The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required.
  • The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this unit standard, that the candidate can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible.
  • All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent

    GLOSSARY

    Acronym
  • A pronounceable word formed from the first letter or letters in a phrase or name e.g. SADTU for South African Democratic Teachers Union .

    Additive multilingualism
  • A form of bilingual education in which the language of instruction is not the 1st language of the children, and is not intended to replace it. In an additive bilingual education programme the first language is maintained and supported, but the language of learning and teaching is taught alongside it. When the language of instruction is likely to replace the children's first language, this is called subtractive bilingualism.
  • Appropriate dress (footnote in u std): solid colour that contrasts your skin colour; appropriate for the context/audience, for example, jewellery.

    Audience
    The intended reader, listeners, or viewers of a particular text - in planning a piece of writing/signing learners (speakers/signers/writers/presenters) must take into consideration the purpose and audience in choosing an appropriate form of writing/signing.

    Author
  • The creator or originator of a piece of narrative, whether signed or written.

    Coherence
  • The underlying logical relationship, which links ideas together. Coherence is to do with ideas and meanings. A paragraph (see definition below) is coherent if all its sentences (see definition below) are connected logically so that they are easy to follow. An essay/signed narrative is coherent if its paragraphs are logically connected and the ideas have a unity, forming a logical whole.

    Cohesion
  • Linking ideas by means of language (e.g. the grammar or syntax of a sentence or paragraph) and/or use of space, using logical connectors or linking words/signs such as conjunctions, non manual features (see definition below), pronouns to hold a paragraph together and give it a linguistic unity.

    Collage
  • A form of art in which a variety of materials, such as photographs, fabric, objects, hand-drawn pieces, and printed text, are attached to a surface. Learners can demonstrate their understanding of many themes and issues through the choice of materials and design elements of a collage.

    Colloquialism
  • A word or expression used in everyday conversation but not in formal language.

    Controlling idea
  • An important or central concept, theme, or argument that is used to unify a signed, written, oral, or media text.

    Conventions
  • Accepted practices or rules in the use of language. Some conventions help convey meaning (e.g. use of space, the rules of grammar of a language, punctuation typefaces, capital letters, etc.); others assist in the presentation of content (e.g. use of sign placement, table of contents, headings, footnotes, charts, captions, lists, pictures, index, etc.)

    Creative thinking
  • The process of thinking about ideas or situations in inventive and unusual ways in order to understand them better and respond to them in a new and constructive manner. Learners think creatively in all subject areas when they imagine, invent, alter, or improve a concept or product.

    Editing
  • The process of correcting grammatical, usage, punctuation/non manual features, and spelling errors to ensure that the writing/signing is clear and correct. The editing process also includes checking writing/signing for coherence of ideas and cohesion of structure. In media, editing involves the selection and juxtaposition of sounds and/or images.

    Essay/signed narrative
  • A prose composition that discusses a subject or makes an argument. This type of writing often presents the writer's/presenter's own ideas on a topic. The SASL equivalent of this would be a signed narrative.

    Etymology

Jargon is useful when used within a trade or profession, but when it is used to exclude listeners, /readers/viewers from an interaction, it is potentially hurtful or even harmful.

    Key questions
  • There are five common questions that help discover the essential facts: who, what, where, when, and why? In newspaper reports, it is important to cover these questions at the beginning.

    Literary (stylistic) device

    Onomatopoeia
  • The use of a word having a sound that echoes its sense (e.g. buzz, hum, bang)

    Oxymoron
  • A combination of words/signs with contradictory meanings, used deliberately for effect. It is usually formed by using an adjective to qualify a noun with an opposite meaning (e.g. an open secret).

  • A restatement/expression of an idea or text using one's own words/signs.

    Point of view
  • In fiction, the position of the narrator in relation to the story and audience (e.g. limited/ omniscient/ third-person/first-person narrator or multiple narrators.

    Power relations
  • When a particular group dominates other groups. This dominance could be related to gender, race, nationality, disability or language groups. In this document, the focus is on how the use of language (the choice of words) indicates a relationship that is neutral, empowered or disempowered.

    Reading/viewing strategies
    Skills and approaches used before, during and after reading/viewing to determine the meaning and increase understanding of a text. Examples are:
  • Scanning: a type of reading/viewing used to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily attending to other parts of a text
  • Skimming: a type of reading/viewing used to identify only the main idea or ideas or to pick out any words in capitals/ in italics/underlined, as well as any visuals or font indicators that would help a reader/viewer to understand a passage.
  • Sifting: selecting the most important ideas, words, facts or finding only those details relevant to a task or purpose

    Register
  • Speech/signing variety used by a particular group of people, usually sharing the same occupation or the same interests. A speaker/writer/presenter/signer must choose signs/words/images that are easily understood by the listener/reader/viewer/audience - the pitch must suit the purpose.

    Research
  • Involves a systematic investigation involving the study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and seek out truth. The following stages are involved: selecting a topics, narrowing the focus, locating appropriate resources, gathering information, analysing material and forming conclusions, presenting the information in written and/or oral/signed form, and documenting the sources of information and ideas.

    Rhetorical question
  • A question not asked for information but for dramatic effect. The question is usually either one that does not need an answer, as the issue is self-evident, or one that the speaker/signer/writer/presenter proceeds to answer immediately.

    Role play
  • A dramatic technique in which participants act the part of another character, usually in order to explore the character's thoughts, feelings, and values.

    Paragraph (in relation to SASL)
  • A paragraph is a coherent and cohesive collection of sentences. Its boundaries may be indicated by manual or non manual devices.

    Presenting/signing (also refer to viewing)
  • SASL does not have a written form. Therefore, reading and writing/presenting outcomes take on a different form, that is, a receptive and productive competence. For simplicity, the unit standards refer to viewing and presenting respectively.

    Sentence (in relation to SASL)
  • A sentence is a unit of meaning made up of a collection of signs and non manual features, always including a verb, and adhering to specific grammatical rules of SASL .

    Sign devices
  • Sign devices are visual strategies used in signed poetry, for example, rhythm, placement, role shifting, and repetition of handshape, location, movement, palm orientation, and non manual features.

    Sign parameter
  • The building blocks of the sign/word: handshape, location, movement, palm orientation, non-manual sign.

    Sign devices
  • These include register, non-manual features (NMFs), placement, role-shift, parameter

    Slang
  • Casual, very informal speech/signing, using expressive but informal words and expressions. Slang is usually related to age or social group rather than to trade or profession (jargon). It is used to stress an identity for those in the know and to exclude those who do not know the terms, for example, words to describe money, grown-ups, police, and activities.

    Stylistic devices
  • A particular pattern of words, a figure of speech or technique used in literature to produce a specific effect, e.g. rhyme, parallel structures, short or one word sentences, analogies, comparisons, contrasts, irony, foreshadowing, similes, metaphors.

    Symbol
  • Something that stands for or represents an abstract idea.

    Syntax
  • The way in which words are arranged to form larger grammatical structures (e.g. phrases, clauses, and sentences).

    Technical language
  • The terminology used in a field or understood by a trade, profession or group of people e.g. in metal -working, the term "pig" means a mould for casting metal. It differs from jargon in being more generally understood and used, for example, by many people rather than a few and it does not have the negative connotations that the word "jargon" carries.

    Text
    Texts refer to signed, spoken, written, or visual communications, including sign language that communicates meaning to an audience or reader/viewer. A text may be considered from the point of view of its structure, context and function.
  • Spoken/signed texts: May include conversations, speeches/presentations, prayers, and songs,
  • Written/signed texts: May include poetry, drama, novels, letters, magazine and newspaper articles, paragraphs, essays/signed narratives, and scripts
  • Visual texts: May include photographs, posters, cartoons, advertisements, environmental prints (road signs), maps, diagrams, charts, and films

    Tone
  • The quality and timbre (distinctive character) of the voice used in speaking; the height of pitch and change of pitch which is associated with the pronunciation of syllables or words and which affects the meaning of the word.

    Topic sentence
  • The sentence that expresses the central idea in a paragraph. In SASL, repetition of important signs occurs throughout the paragraph to express the topic of the paragraph or a number of paragraphs.

    Voice
  • In writing: a work's distinctive style of expression, personal or impersonal, conveyed through the author's use of vocabulary, sentence structure, and imagery. In oral/signed communication: the quality of sound produced by a speaker. In grammar: a property of verbs (e.g. active and passive voice).

    Writing process
    The process involved in producing a polished piece of writing. It comprises several stages. The main stages are:
  • Generating ideas
  • Choosing a form of writing to suit the topic, purpose and audience
  • Developing a plan for writing
  • Organising ideas
  • Writing and revising drafts
  • Editing
  • Proofreading
  • Producing and publishing

    Venn diagram
  • Graphs that use circles to present connections and intersections.

    Viewing (also referring to signing)
  • SASL does not have a written form. Therefore, reading and writing/presenting outcomes take on a different form, that is, a receptive and productive competence. For simplicity, the unit standards refer to viewing and presenting respectively.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
