ACI2602 October/November (Portfolio) Memo | Due 14 October 2025. All questions fully answered. Question 1 Read the following extract from the CAPS document on ‘How the Language Structures and Conventions should be addressed’ and answer the questions that follow The content of the ‘Language structures and conventions’ section is related in most cases to the types of texts prescribed under the headings Listening and Speaking, Reading and Viewing, and Writing and Presenting, and will naturally be given attention in the process of engaging with the texts and during the time allocated for Listening and Speaking, Reading and Viewing, Writing and Presenting.
