The document discusses author's purpose and the three main purposes for writing: to entertain, inform, or persuade. It provides examples for each purpose and instructs how to determine an author's purpose by considering if a text is a story, poem, or play meant to entertain; teaches or shows how to do something meant to inform; or tries to get the reader to do something meant to persuade. It then gives a practice activity identifying the author's purpose for 10 short text descriptions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. What is Author’s Purpose?
An author is a person who wrote something.
A purpose is a reason for doing something.
The author’s purpose is the reason why
someone wrote something.
3. Purposes for Writing
There are three main purposes for writing:
1. Entertain
2. Inform
3. Persuade
You will learn about each of these.
4. To Entertain
Writing texts to give readers enjoyment.
Examples:
• A story about a kid overcoming bullies
• A poem about bullying
• A play about a bully losing his friends
Stories, poems, and plays may teach a
lesson, but the author’s main purpose
is to entertain.
5. To Inform
Writing texts to provide information
Examples
• A set of directions to create a bird house
• An article about the habits of a rare bird
• A report predicting the day’s weather
Some directions, articles, and reports
may be entertaining, but the author’s
main purpose is to inform.
6. To Persuade
Writing text to influence the reader
Examples
• A flyer saying vote “no” on proposition 54
• An commercial for foot cream
• An letter pleading for forgiveness
Be careful. A text that is written to
persuade may also be entertaining or
informative, like a funny commercial.
7. How to Find the Author’s Purpose
1. Ask yourself, “Is it a story, poem, or
play? ” If so, it was probably written to
entertain.
2. Ask yourself, “Is the text teaching me
about something or showing me how
to do something?” If so, it was
probably written to inform.
3. Ask yourself, “Is this text trying to get
me to do something?” If so, it was
probably written to persuade.
8. Practice
1. Take out a separate sheet of paper.
2. I will project short descriptions of texts on
to the board.
3. You will determine what is most likely the
author’s main purpose in writing the text.
4. You will write your answer on your paper.
5. We will discuss our answers when
everyone has had a chance to answer.
