PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD |
This unit standard will enable learners to interact orally/in signing with others in various contexts and situations for a variety of purposes. Learners will be able to communicate reasonably confidently through developing an understanding of how listening and speaking/signing strategies and skills can improve understanding between individuals and in groups. |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |

UNIT STANDARD RANGE |
This standard covers Speaking/Signing and Listening in defined oral/signed interactions in socio-cultural, learning and workplace situations, in both formal and informal contexts for a variety of purposes.

Specific range statements are provided in the body of the unit standards where they apply to particular specific outcomes or assessment criteria. Notes on range: Contexts include: Content includes: Text types include: Oral/signed or spoken texts at this level include narrative, persuasive, factual and everyday/information texts; texts may be of mixed types. Examples of received oral/signed or spoken/signed texts are conversations, speeches, report backs, instructions, directions, descriptions, prepared talks, lectures, interviews, stories. |
