This document analyzes two soap opera trailers using Propp's character roles and narrative functions:
1) The first trailer, "Hurricane Sharon Trailer", represents the narrative function of "Beginning Counter-Action" as the character Sharon returns to resolve past problems. Sharon is presented as both a "Princess" in need of saving and as ascending to power through her wedding, conforming to the narrative function of "wedding".

This lesson is designed to assist students in a case study of 'Sherlock' season 1. It is particularly useful for the upcoming GCSE Media Studies exam in 2018. Included in this recourse is a presentation which introduces students to the codes and conventions of Sherlock, and looks into Propp's Character Theory, and Todorov's Narrative Theory. Also included is a worksheet to go along with the PowerPoint, so students can complete tasks as the presentation moves along. At the end of the worksheet there is a small feedback section so teachers can be assured of how much the students understand of this topic, and which particular sections they need to re-cover.
Thank You :)
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.

2. Trailer 1 – Hurricane Sharon Trailer
Through analysing this first soap opera trailer, the narrative function ‘Beginning Counter-Action’ is represented
in the key themes of the trailer. Sharon, a key character, is returning to the soap after leaving her problems
unresolved. For example the verbal code of the diegetic dialogue “Sharon is back!!” connotes how this will be a
defining moment for the hero. As she will fight to counter act any problems that were left when she was gone.
According to Propp’s Character roles, many of the key characters featured in this trailer can be associated to
certain roles. The trailer features heavily on the return of a main character. Sharon, the returning character is
dressed in a bright white wedding dress. For example the technical code of the medium long shot of Sharon in
her wedding dress portrays her as being a “Princess” (Propp’s character roles) who perhaps needs saving.
However the character is presented above all the other characters in the trailer. This means therefore she is
breaking out of this character role.
Additionally the wedding dress hints at the main plot to revolve around a key wedding. This conforms to Propp’s
narrative function the ‘wedding’. The hero marries and is rewarded or promoted by the family or community. In
Sharon's case she may gain power in EastEnders by marrying a key character, this makes the character ascend to
the throne. For example the technical code of the long shot, of Sharon ascending above the ground connotes
how the wedding will bring power to Sharon.
3. Trailer 2 – Official Hollyoaks Trailer: Love Lies
and Betrayal
The Narrative theme ‘Struggle’ (Propp’s narrative functions) features heavily
through the intertwining plots of this second trailer. This is due to the fact that many
of the characters are struggling with their own problems. The trailer opens with the
‘Trickery’ of adultery in the opening scenes, whereby the verbal code of the title
‘Lies’ (Propp’s Narrative functions) reinforces the trickery within the trailer.
‘Delivery’ (Propp’s narrative functions) is an additional narrative function that is
relevant in the scene where the villain delivers a injection that knocks out the hero.
