Lang & Occupation Continued

Afternoon everyone,

We're continuing with computer lessons on Lang & occupation today and on Wednesday. Today we will focus on the discursive essay and on Wednesday we will focus on the opinion article.

First of all, if you haven't completed the tasks from last week, please do them now. For the two wider reading articles, please make notes on how the theories from the mindmap can be applied to the articles, in the same way you would do for gender and accent/dialect.

When you have done this, use this grid to organise your understanding for lang & occupation. One side contains key terminology and the other side key theorists (we will do the work on Grice's Maxims on Thursday, so you can leave this blank if you're not sure.) Please use whatever websites you need to help you - complete as much of it as possible. Let me know if you'd rather have a hard copy of the grid.


Next, use all of your notes, articles and understanding to plan a response to this discursive essay question:

"There is no place for jargon or other occupational language in the workplace." - Evaluate this view of occupational language.


Any issues, let me know
