Getting emotional with CEFR-inspired communication taskstelc gGmbH
Getting students to open up can be difficult, yet when you look at language examinations, particularly from levels B1 onwards, talking about opinions and experiences plays a key role. Sometimes teachers need to create their own tasks or materials to help their students develop these skills and finding inspiration can be hard. The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is something we use today to assess our students’ current levels, but many teachers are missing out by not tapping into its potential as inspiration for lesson planning or material design. This practical workshop talks about why feelings and experiences can be hard to express and how we can use the CEFR to create practical, meaningful tasks that will build confidence and prepare them not only for oral exams, but for real life situations.

Or, strategies for successful essay writingThings to avoid in .docxgerardkortney
Or, strategies for successful essay writing
Things to avoid in essay writing!
Write a creative title for your essay
Consider that the title is the first opportunity you have to inform your reader about the thesis of your essay
NEVER just write “Evaluation Essay”
Capitalize the title correctly
Format the essay with double-spacing and page numbers
FIRST THINGS FIRST
The purpose of an introduction is to:
engage the reader
provide background information
present the thesis
Unless necessary for contextualization, save the evidence to support your claims in the body paragraphs.
Don't serve the main meal at the same time as the appetizer!
Too many details in the introduction:
"Air travel is a form of travel in vehicles that can sustain flight". (Really? No kidding!)
Don't start your essay with a definition of what is probably unnecessary: obesity, global warming, cell phones, the internet, etc.
The purpose of simply taking up space is too obvious and wastes opportunity to craft useful sentences that further your essay.
ONLY use a definition if writing about something truly obscure.
Avoid Useless "definitions"
The trick to avoid these words: insert “as opposed to?”
Basically, very, really, literally, truly, personally (as opposed to...?)
Here is a link to a good page about writing concisely: http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/writing-concisely/
Using Words that Do Not Add Meaning
In this essay I will prove...
I will discuss...
As said in the previous paragraph….
As mentioned before...
Avoid these space fillers! Instead - just write what you are saying.
Don't waste space saying what you WILL write about or what you already wrote.
Example:
Wrong: In this essay I will argue that cell phones should not be used while drive.
Better: Cell phones should not be used while driving.
Announcing Yourself to the Reader
Did you ever get tired of reading essays with questions?
Do you think that these questions would be stronger written as statements?
Are all the questions necessary?
Do they engage the reader?
Especially in a repeating pattern: did you ever wonder, did you ever think, why is it that... blah blah blah?
STOP!
And if writing a question, remember to use a question mark when creating a question, even if it's a rhetorical question.
Rhetorical Questions
Avoid Pointing the Camera at Yourself:
I think, I believe, I feel, in my opinion...
Write what you think in a statement
The reader will know what you think by what you write.
ONLY use “I” when framing a direct response:
“I agree/concede/argue/claim…”
Remove yourself
You didn't actually write the paper, but you're really good at introducing other people's quotes!
Stringing them together is almost writing a paper, right?
Not quite!
The reader needs to hear your voice and your ideas that are supported by the evidence, not replaced by them.
After using a quote, be sure to explain how it supports the claim in the topic sentence and the thesis.
Don’t .
Class notes about drafting an introductory paragraph. Tips:
- what's the purpose/role of this kind of paragraph in an essay?
- what "ingredients" should be present in this kind of paragraph
- annotate your introduction to monitor for all key "ingredients"

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

S1 2014-2015, English 10 Memoir Writing Process Steps
1. Memoir Process Steps:
Pre-Writing:
1. (Sheet of looseleaf, folded in ½ top to bottom)
a. List 3 places that are personally significant.
b. List 5 important moments that occurred in each of these places
2. (Writer’s notebook) Create a “ranking” list for the 15 memories you generated at step 1. 15 is the memory that has the smallest
amount of “this moment impacted who I am and what I am like today” in it. #1 is the moment that is loaded and overflowing with
“this moment impacted who I am and what I am like today”
3. Look at your top 3 moments in terms of personal significance. Choose one of them to start writing about.
a. If you get a couple steps down the road and decide that one of your other top 3 moments is a better fit for this activity,
it’s OK to abandon ship and start fresh.
4. Based on your choice in the last step, create a bank of raw ideas to help you draft a memoir. You can:
a. Make a list OR create a thought web/brainstorm OR write in jot notes/point form OR free write in paragraphs
b. Whatever method you choose, make sure you include:
i. Dominant imagery- what are the notable sensory details of this experience? Come up with a strong, lengthy list.
More is better than less- you can focus on the truly important ones later and leave the nicky-nack ones out
ii. Important emotions- what are the range of emotions you felt during this experience? There should be a process,
a series of feelings, rather than a simplistic “bad” or “good.” Use a thesaurus if need be
iii. SO WHAT? In six words, sum up the lesson learned through this moment. This is the whole point of why
you’re writing. If you can’t say it in a few words, you haven’t figured it out, and will struggle to convey this to
your reader
iv. People? Who did you share this moment with? Who contributed? Dialogue and conversation can be important
pieces of memoir.
v. Power: what did you lose or gain? Who had control? Did you start helpless and end strong? Vice versa? Think
about how you grew up through this…
5. DRAFT. Take your list from step 4, and write two pages single spaced.
a. TURN OFF YOUR INNER EDITOR. Your spelling doesn’t need to be perfect. Neither does your grammar. The goal
here is to try and capture the experience on paper as a FIRST STEP towards building and improving your writing. JUST
WRITE. Remember, it’s OK to write more than 2 pages, but if you’re getting to 6 and 7? You’re likely writing about too
large an experience OR you’re chasing things. Use 2-3 pages as a focused goal
6. TAG your memoir
a. Share your draft with someone else with a draft who needs some feedback. Remember that your goal here is STRICTLY
to look at their SO WHAT? and the notable emotions of their experience. Don’t say anything about anything else yet!
b. Do this with TWO partners. Multiple sets of eyes means a range of perspectives and good feedback.
c. IMPORTANT: If your partners’ feedback tell you your SO WHAT isn’t coming through clearly, then do some rewriting.
Make changes to help this come through clearly!
7. STAR your memoir
a. Share your draft with someone else with a draft who needs further feedback. Remember that your goal here is about the
nuts and bolts of writing that contribute to style and voice- the personality and impact of the writing. Don’t say anything
about punctuation, spelling, grammar because it’s quick and easy. We will self-check for these things later!
b. Do this with TWO partners.
c. IMPORTANT: Your partner should write down their feedback for you. DO NOT leave a conference without written
feedback, and don’t let your partner off the hook with non-specific “I really like it. It’s great!” feedback. It’s your job to
collect meaningful feedback, and their to give it in writing. Hold each other accountable to develop thinking that gives
you direct, clear action steps that will lead to improved writing!
8. Check yourself for: Paragraphs & Sentence structure
a. See your lesson notes for ideas about monitoring whether your paragraphs are well composed, and how you’re doing
with sentence fluency (smooth reading, variety of length, simple/complex, variety of beginnings, variety of punctuation
at the end/middle of sentences).
9. Proofread your draft
a. Print the copy where all the improvements suggested/identified in steps 6-8
b. Using the proofreading checklist posted in moodle, follow the series of steps listed (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY!). This means MARKING THIS COPY UP.
c. Make any corrections this final step identifies.
10. Publish your memoir
a. Create a 6 Word Memoir (an image with the six word version of the memoir you’re passing in). This will be the cover of
your memoir. That means you need to print it. In full colour, preferably.
b. Print your improved several times, I proofread it and fixed nicky nack errors draft. Make sure your name is on it.
c. Staple these together
d. Put all of the rough work from steps 1-9 in your pocket folder, along with the process checklist/memoir rubric. Missing
items=missing points.
2. 11. PASS IT IN. Then we will celebrate! (AND start a new unit.)
