This unit explores writing practices that are particularly relevant to the workplace and community. These practices range from organisational writing (reports, proposals, newsletters, web pages, etc) to reviews (book, film, music reviews, etc) and writing scripts for radio. Students explore the social context of professional and creative writing styles, their compositional techniques, and ethical issues arising in their use. They investigate the similarities and differences between these styles through case studies and practical exercises. The unit is valuable for those seeking to develop their ability to write effectively and creatively for different purposes and diverse audience bases.
