The document discusses the ABCs of effective writing - Accuracy, Brevity, and Clarity. It emphasizes using grammatically correct sentences, avoiding unnecessary words to be brief, and making thoughts unambiguous to be clear. Conceptual clarity involves describing concepts so readers can easily understand, while unity ensures a single theme and logical flow within and between paragraphs through coherence. Effective writing adheres to these principles of accuracy, brevity, clarity, unity and coherence.

Cohesion and Coherence: Beyond the SentenceYosuke Ishii
In the context of globalization, productive skills are more highlighted than they were in the past. In actual EFL classrooms in Japan, however, teachers simply give instructions regarding vocabulary and grammar, or they just encourage their students to express their opinions without giving any feedback. This learning toward either form or content seems to be caused by the lack of instruction methods to teach cohesion and coherence of the text. The presenter presents what writing/speaking instructors should know to help learners express themselves more logically.
This lesson is over what makes a writer's voice: tone, word choice, and style. This interactive lesson helps students understand the concepts of tone, word choice, and style. Finally, there are tips for developing your own writer's voice.

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.

1. The ABC of Effective
Writing
Presented by
SONY KURIAKOSE
2. The ABC of Effective
Writing
• Accuracy
• Brevity
• Clarity
3. Accuracy
• Accuracy means grammatical
correctness.
• Now look at the following sentences. Say which
sentence is correct and why.
a) Only Muneer scored two goals.
b) Two goals were scored by Muneer only.
c) Muneer scored two goals only.
d) Two goals only were scored by Muneer.
4. Brevity
• Brevity means economy in word
usage, pruning away useless
words. We should avoid
repetition and redundancy.
Look at the following sentences.
1) Maria lives in a city called Banglore, in a place
called Indira Nagar.
2) Maria lives in Indira Nagar in Banglore.
5. Clarity
• Clarity in writing means the
ability to state our thoughts
without any ambiguity.
• It is unnecessary to use a polysyllabic
word where a monosyllabic one will do.
Needless use of long words or abstract
words result in obscurity
• There can be two types of
clarity.
• grammatical and conceptual.
6. Grammatical Clarity
One of the aid to clarity is adequate
punctuation.
Look at the following sentence:
1) I wrote a book with Mr.Khalil and Mr. Mabruk and Mr.
Nayim edited it
The ambiguity in the above sentence can be
removed only by a comma.
2) I wrote a book with Mr.Khalil, and Mr. Mabruk and Mr.
Nayim edited it.
3) I wrote a book with Mr.Khalil and Mr. Mabruk ,and Mr.
Nayim edited it.
7. Pronoun reference
He took out his handkerchief and his
pen, then wiped his forehead, blew
his nose, and put it back into his
pocket.
Did he put his nose back in to his pocket(!) or
his pen or his handkerchief?
For clarity, each pronoun should not be far
away from the noun it refers to.
8. Conceptual Clarity
• By conceptual clarity, we mean that whatever
concepts we are trying to describe should be
such that the reader should be able to easily
empathize with what we write.
Muna is a teacher at the college level and she is a
knowledgeable person. She is thin but her students say that
she can keep her class under control.
To show that I liked her I wrote:
Muna is a professor and she is a real scholar. She is slim and
her students say that she is a born leader.
To show that I disliked her I wrote:
Muna behaves like a school ma’am and is a real egghead. She is
skinny and her students say that he is a Hitler, a dictator to
the core.
9. Denotation and
Connotation
• The denotative meaning of a
word is its literal meaning.
• Connotation is the
underlying feeling that you
get , besides the primary
meaning of the word.
• “Smell” is purely denotative.
• “Aroma” gives you a positive feeling and
has favourable connotations.
• “Stench” makes you wrinkle up your nose
and gives you unfavourable connotations.
10. unity
• It is important to teach our students
about the principle of unity and help
them achieve it in their writing.
• Make sure that the composition is
about a single theme.
• Every composition should be
complete, it should have all three
main parts-the introduction, the
body, and the conclusion.
11. Unity in a paragraph
• Every paragraph should concentrate
on one idea.
• The main idea of the paragraph
should be stated in one sentence,
which is called the “Topic sentence”
of the paragraph.
• All other sentences in the paragraph
should elaborate on the main idea
expressed in the topic sentence.
12. Coherence in writing
• Coherence in writing means that
every paragraph should follow
logically from the one preceding it
and every sentence in a paragraph
should follow logically from the one
preceding it.
• Coherence is achieved by using
cohesive devices like pronouns,
synonyms, connectives and judicious
repetition of key words
13. summary
• Accuracy, brevity and clarity can
contribute in making our students’ writing
more effective.
• Check for grammatical correctness, avoid
longwinded sentences and repetition of
words, thoughts and ideas, and be more
concrete in our descriptions.
• Use short, simple and sweet
words/sentences.
