This document discusses different writing genres and what to consider when writing in each genre. It covers letters, emails, essays, articles, reviews, reports and proposals. For each genre it outlines the target reader, appropriate organization and format, and type of language. It notes that for ISE Foundation levels, letters and emails will likely be informal, essays more descriptive, and introductions/conclusions for articles may be single sentences. The level of language and development for some genres like reports and proposals is above ISE Foundation. In summarizing, the document provides guidance on writing for different genres.

Directions: Read the following case study: “The Ford Pinto" (Case 2.2, pp. 74-77 in your textbook). Once you have finished reading the article, write a 2-3 page paper in which you discuss the following: Utilitarians would say that jeopardizing motorists does not by itself make Ford's actions morally objectionable. The only morally relevant matter is whether Ford gave equal consideration to the interests of each affected party. Do you think Ford did this? Why or why not? What do you think would be Kant's response to the idea of placing monetary value on a human life? From the point of view of a Kantian, is doing so ever morally legitimate? Why?

This paper should be written entirely in your own words. If you must quote from the article, quotations should be kept short (no more than 10 words in length).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Ise guidance with genres 02 15 (1)
1. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
1
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Letters The target reader can vary greatly
and will be specified in the
question e.g. the editor of a
newspaper, the director
of an international company or a
friend
Letters should have
an appropriate opening and closing phrase
and clear paragraphing. The first paragraph
should outline the purpose for writing.
Register and tone depends entirely
on target reader and context.
Formal letters The reader is likely to be either
someone superior to the writer or
someone who the writer does not
know.
The following opening and closing formulae
should be used:
Dear Mr Brown/Mrs Smith/Ms Carter (name
is used)
…………
Yours sincerely,
Dear Sir/Madam,
……………..
Yours faithfully,
In a formal letter a final sentence such as ‘I
look forward to hearing from you.’ Is often
used to conclude the letter.
Formal register is used. This
includes using appropriate
grammar (e.g. no contractions such
as ‘I’m’ or ‘doesn’t’)
vocabulary (e.g. ‘dissatisfied with’
and not ‘fed up with’
Register and tone MUST be
consistent.
Informal letters The reader is likely to be a friend
or a peer.
The opening and closing structures should
reflect the register, i.e.,
Dear Tom, Hi Tom,
……………………
Bye, See you soon,
Informal register is used. This
means colloquial language and
contractions can be used and formal
language is inappropriate.
Register and tone MUST be
consistent.
2. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
2
Letters at ISE foundation are likely to be informal and due to the length of output (100-130 words) will consist of fewer paragraphs.
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Emails As with letters, the target reader
can vary greatly and will be
specified in the question
e.g. a teacher, a friend, an
organisation/company
Again, as with letters, emails should have
an appropriate opening and closing phrase
and clear paragraphing. The first paragraph
should outline the purpose for writing.
Register and tone depends entirely
on target reader and context.
Formal emails The reader is likely to be either
someone superior to the writer or
someone who the writer does not
know.
The following opening and closing formulae
should be used:
Dear Mr Brown/Mrs Smith/Ms Carter,
(name is used)
Dear Kate, (it is the generally accepted
practice in British companies to use the first
name only of colleagues, while still using a
formal register for the email)
…………
Kind regards,
Best regards,
Dear Sir/Madam, is not often used in an
email as writers generally know the person
to whom they are writing.
As in a formal letter, a final sentence such
as ‘I look forward to hearing from you.’ Is
often used to conclude the email.
Formal register is used. This
includes using appropriate
grammar (e.g. no contractions such
as ‘I’m’ or ‘doesn’t’)
vocabulary (e.g. ‘dissatisfied with’
and not ‘fed up with’
Register and tone MUST be
consistent.
3. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
3
Informal emails The reader is likely to be a friend
or a peer.
The opening and closing structures should
reflect the register, i.e.,
Dear Tom, Hi Tom,
……………………
Bye, See you soon
Informal register is used. This
means colloquial language and
contractions can be used and formal
language is inappropriate.
Note that abbreviations such as
those used in texting are NOT
appropriate, e.g. ‘Thanx’ or ‘R U
going?’
Register and tone MUST be
consistent.
Emails at ISE foundation are likely to be informal and due to the length of output (100-130 words) will consist of fewer paragraphs.
4. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
4
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Essays A teacher or tutor.
A good essay requires clear paragraphing
and should use linking devices.
The type of language used depends
on the purpose and context.
Essays are usually either neutral or
formal in register.
Descriptive essay A teacher or tutor. Essay should have a title.
Ideas should be arranged in a logical
manner.
Wide range of descriptive language.
There should be good use of
adjectives and adverbs that make
the description interesting to read.
Discursive essay A teacher or tutor. Essay should include a title, introduction,
body and conclusion. Equal attention
should be given to positive and negative
points and should be clearly organised into
paragraphs.
The essay must include a conclusion in
which the candidate expresses his or her
own views on the topic.
Candidate should use language of
justification and agreeing and
disagreeing.
Argument essay A teacher or tutor. Again essay should include a title,
introduction, body and conclusion. Ideas
and supporting arguments should be clearly
organised into paragraphs.
Candidate should use language of
justification and agreeing and
disagreeing.
Essays at foundation level are more likely to be descriptive essays and examiners should not expect the same level of development
of ideas or use of discourse markers.
5. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
5
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Articles A reader of a newspaper,
magazine or website.
Must have a title or headline
May have a sub-title/sub-headline or start
with a rhetorical question.
Articles should be clearly organised into
paragraphs, including and introduction,
main body and conclusion. Articles should
include the writer’s opinion and often have
a persuasive element.
The conclusion should sum up the main
point of view that the writer wants to
express.
Articles should always be engaging
and the opening lines should catch
the reader’s interest.
Articles often contain language of
description with examples and
anecdotes provided. As articles
should engage the reader, language
should be varied and colourful.
The register depends on the topic
and target reader and so can be
informal or formal. Whatever register
the candidate chooses to adopt
must be used consistently
throughout the article.
At ISE Foundation introductions and conclusions are likely to be a single sentence rather than a complex paragraph, which is
acceptable at this level.
6. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
6
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Reviews Usually the reader of a magazine
or website.
Often similar to an article with a
headline/title and clearly organised into
paragraphs.
There should be a description of the event,
book, film etc and the writer’s
personal opinion should be clear. There
should also be a recommendation to the
reader.
Descriptive language is essential
with a variety of adjectives and
adverbs used. Also language to
express opinion, with justification
should be used.
Reviews are generally neutral or
informal. An overly formal register
would generally be inappropriate.
At lower levels, reviews will be less developed and are likely to be a simple description, with some opinion and a simple
recommendation, e.g. ‘I think everyone should read this book.’
7. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
7
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Reports Usually someone in a higher
position of authority such as a
teacher, employer or college
principal.
Report should have a title explaining its
purpose.
It should be clearly organised into
paragraphs and may include headings.
Recommendations or suggestions are often
made in the final paragraph.
Language should be formal and
impersonal as information presented
is based on facts and not opinion.
Any suggestions or
recommendations should be based
on factual information.
The language required for the genre of reports is above level for ISE Foundation and ISE I and so should not be assessed at these
levels.
8. Writing Genres:
What to consider when writing in a specific genre
8
Genre Target reader Organisation/format Type of language
Proposals Usually a superior, a
boss or college
principal.
Proposals should have a title expressing
the purpose of the proposal and should be
clearly organised into paragraphs.
Proposals may include headings to aid
organisation.
Candidates should make
suggestions supported by
factual information, in
order to persuade the
reader of a course of
action. The register should be
formal.
The language required for the genre of proposals is above level for ISE Foundation and ISE I and so should not be assessed at these
levels.
**Reports and proposals are very similar, but their main difference is that reports generally evaluate past or present situations,
whereas proposals focus on projects or ideas for the future.
