We moved on to look at the second listening task. Again, we are looking at the same elements when we come to analyse and evaluate the programme: summarising the content; and identifying purpose, point of view and intended audience.
The Enemies of Reason programme adopts a different style to the Word of Mouth series. When we come to evaluate the programme (or any text or piece of communication) we should do so in terms of its purpose. So, we can't dismiss something for not being objective if it's purpose was to persuade us to agree with a particular point of view. What we should evaluate, in this case, is how successful that piece was in persuading us.
There will be no class next week. When we come back we'll finish off the work on the various listening assignments.
Have a good break.
