I've read your speech on Module B, that was brilliant!
I am doing english for study too, and what are the possible text types that would come up in the exam?
and how would you conduct a
report on study techniques?
Thanks
The possible text types are:
Letter/Application to something
Interview transcript
Speech
Pamphlet
Report
For a report, they will probably ask you to write the Preface of the report or a booklet. This is because they cannot expect you to give a detailed information report or booklet within 30 min. You are likely to have to provide a strong argument as to why the responders should read your report/booklet, a brief summary of the content and its significant to the English for Study, and a conclusion.
Generally give 3 or 4 strong points about studying techniques and explain their significance (one for each paragraph), including time management, motivation etc (get some more ideas from my speech).
Don't just focus on studying techniques. In my year, the examiners asked us to write a letter of application for a university scholarship, which is completely different from what we've learned in class for a whole term. For this Module, know your text types well
