Module A: Comparative Study of Texts and Context
This module requires students to compare texts in order to explore them in relation
to their contexts. It develops students understanding of the effects of context and
questions of value.
Each elective in this module requires the study of groups of texts which are to be
selected from a prescribed text list. These texts may be in different forms or media.
Students examine ways in which social, cultural and historical context influences
aspects of texts, or the ways in which changes in context lead to changed values
being reflected in texts. This includes study and use of the language of texts,
consideration of purposes and audiences, and analysis of the content, values and
attitudes conveyed through a range of readings.
Students develop a range of imaginative, interpretive and analytical compositions
that relate to the comparative study of texts and context. These compositions may be
realised in a variety of forms and media.
