Communicative Behaviors

Yes another important topic. Have fun  :) Communicative behaviour is basically what is communicated to the listener by the speaker. Its the impression that they get. The speaker may be unaware of these impressions but they say a lot about a person. Let me tell you about them in fancy CAPE words: Vocalics or paralangue - this refers how how loud/fast the speaker talks (volume/rate), their tone and pitch of voice. Basically how they speak.

Things To Know For Paper 2

I know it's the day before the exam and I'm only just uploading something. But I'm a pro-procrastinator (sounds like a stutter-doesn't it?)  so this is actually pretty early. Each module has one question, you don't have a choice, you have to do all the questions. Each question will require you writing an essay worth 25 marks. You do have a word limit of 500 words, well for module 1 and 2 at least. They really let you go crazy for mod 3, so have fun with it. Here is a quick list of things they like to keep bringing for Paper 2.  The stuff in  green  are the topics they absolutely  love. MODULE 1: GATHERING AND PROCESSING INFORMATION For this section of the paper, they'll give you a an extract of some sort to analyse. It can be from a story or a newspaper article. State writer's main point . They usually give you a word limit (in no more than 30 words...) The writer's main purpose. (No it's NOT the same thing!) Strategies and language te...
