1 INTRODUCTION

It is unbelievable to think that the first six months of 2021 have already passed. It was a difficult year for
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




allofusandwearefacinganuncertainfuture.Tothoseofyouwholostlovedones,mydeepestsympathy. I hope that
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




time will heal and dry your tears.
v v v v v v v




Hopefully, you have used the past six months fruitfully and have already made much progress with your studies.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




If you are a bit behind, it is never too late to start working. This time of year is the most difficult as most students tend
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




to have lost the initial enthusiasm they had at the beginning of the year. I would like to encourage you to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




persevere and not lose hope.

This tutorial letter discusses the first assignment that you had to do for this module. Please keep the mistakes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




made in mind when attempting your next assignment and writing the examination.

2 COMMONMISTAKESMADEINTHEASSIGNMENT v v v v v




GeneralproblemsthatIpickedupwhilemarkingyourassignmentswerethefollowing:
v v v v v v v v v v v v




• Many students did notread thequestion thoroughlybeforeattemptingto answer it and therefore did not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




follow the instructions that were given.
v v v v v v




• Somestudentsused their generalknowledgeto answerquestions,insteadofconsultingthe study
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




guide.

• Somestudentsansweredaquestionthatcounted10 ormoremarksinthreetofoursentences. v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




• Anumberof students gave answersthat would be applicableto the teaching of any subject,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




whereas they should have focused on the teaching of English as an additional language in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




particular.
v




• It seems as though some of you did not consult CAPS before answering the questions. It is of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




utmostimportance thatyou have a thorough knowledgeof CAPS in orderto teach English as an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




additional language effectively. The answer to Question 1.3 was partly to be found in CAPS. Many of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




you, however, only used the study guide to answer this question.
v v v v v v v v v v v




• Many students’Englishlanguage proficiencyis not of the required standard.Isuggest thatyou read as
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




many English books or newspapers as possible and try to improve your English language skills
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




whenever you have the opportunity to do so.
v v v v v v v v




• You were supposed to do Question 1 and then choose one other question to do. Those students
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




whodidallthequestions will notethat only thefirsttwo questions wereassessed.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




• Themark allocationforQuestion4 was incorrect.Thequestionactuallycounted 110,not 100 marks.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




I don’t know if this was the reason why most of you chose to answer Question 4. The system
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




nevertheless allowed us to calculate the percentage out of 110 instead of 100. My apologies for the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




calculation error in TL101/2021.
v v v v




• Plagiarism was a big problem. I would like to remind you of Unisa’s policy regarding plagiarism. To copy v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




verbatim from any other source (including the study guide or your friend’s assignment) without citing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




your source is regarded as a serious offence.
v v v v v v v v




It is important to keep in mind that I don’t want you to only know (understand) the theory or facts of different
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




activities and principles – I wanttoknowwhether you would beable to applywhat you have
