The document discusses the concept of "writer's effect" and how writers use language choices purposefully to impact the interpretation of a text. It explains that words have literal meanings as well as shades of meaning influenced by context, sensory associations, and emotional associations. The document provides examples of words with different levels of meaning and discusses how a writer's vocabulary choices can reinforce, modify, contrast or contradict elements of a story like characters, relationships, settings, themes, atmosphere and tone.
A writer selects words and shapes them in the same way that an artist mixes particular hues of paint and applies them to a canvas using brush strokes. Writer’s effect is the powerful feeling that writers intend to inspire in their readers, through the use of special words or expressions or some unique patterns of writing. Writers commonly create effect through the use of the following techniques:
- Imagery
- Power/Powerful/Strong words
- Figurative language
- Miscellaneous methods (arrangement of letters and words, shapes of letters, etc.)

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.

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”.

2. What is ‘writer’s effect’? A writer selects words and shapes them in the same way that an artist mixes particular hues of paint and applies them to a canvas using brush strokes.
3.
4. What effect can words have? Reinforce Modify Contrast Contradict Characters / relationships Settings Themes Atmosphere / tone
5. The exam task To select words / phrases from two named paragraphs in a ‘literary’ extract and explain the meaning and effect of those language choices and why therefore the writer might have chosen to use them. The exam question is worth 10 marks You will have approximately 25 minutes to answer
6. The skills needed To recognise, understand and explain the meaning of a range of vocabulary. To demonstrate an awareness that words have layers of meaning rather than just a literal meaning. To be able to articulate an understanding of the how language choices can purposefully impact the interpretation of a text.
14. Rank these words and explain the subtle differences between them Shack Hut Barn House Mansion Hovel
15. Write as many variations of this sentence as you can by changing the highlighted words while retaining the same literal meaning – notice how the nuances of meaning can change: The horse looked at me.
16. So words carry subtle differences of meaning and a writer’s choice of words is likely to reflect an awareness of these nuances
20. Here is a word which has been taken out of its context: scarlet
21. On the next slide is a mini saga with the word ‘scarlet’ placed in context – notice how the rest of the story adds a significant layer of meaning to the word ‘scarlet’
22. Erik’s clothes clashed like a pile of Smarties. Ties became legends. Criticisms bypassed his balding head.Eric’s office held a ‘Bad Taste Fancy Dress Night’. Colleagues conspicuously reproduced his outfits. He smiled.Next morning, Erik wore a grey suit. He tidied his desk, then hanged himself with a scarlet tie.
23. The title of the mini-saga is: The Greying of the Peacock’ Is this an appropriate title given that no bird features in the story? Why?
24. What is the effect of the simile which appears in the first line of the story? Erik’s clothes clashed like a pile of Smarties. What associations do you have with Smarties and how are they modified in this context?
25. Figurative language is based upon the associations we are invited to make between the items being compared. Analogical thinking is always associative. Finish the following phrase in as many ways as you can and notice how the choice of simile shifts the underlying meaning which is implied:
28. Some words make a direct appeal to the senses such as: Bright, iridescent, drab, Melodious, clang, titter Acrid, pungent, fragrant Bitter, bland, savoury Dry, smooth, jagged
29. Others do not have a primary meaning which is rooted in the senses but, nonetheless they can carry associations which may imply sensory details: The bird’s plumage shimmered in the dawn light. The soldier sank, ankle deep into the thick mud and struggled to free himself.
31. Some words are also selected by writers because they carry emotional weight: The small child dragged his satchel behind him, his head hung down and his shoulders were slumped.
32. Notice how each of the word choices highlighted here combine – the emotional tone of the sentence emerges out of the collective effect of the language choices made. The small child dragged his satchel behind him, his head hung down and his shoulders were slumped.
33. Here are three possibilities for the next sentence – how does this additional information modify or develop your understanding of the school boy’s emotional state?
34. He stabbed his toe at a discarded coke can which tumbled into the road. The School gates loomed ahead of him and he noticed that his hands were trembling. The crumpled pink letter was still clutched tightly in his left hand.
35. Putting it all together Words carry a literal meaning Words often also carry shades of meaning and are relational Words may be modified by their context Words may carry sensory associations Words may carry emotional associations
37. They locked eyes upon one another and stood like statues, rooted to the spot. Several moments passed. The air about them crackled with tension and then, suddenly the two men surged forwards. The dust billowed around them, their leather sandals tearing great scars across the parched arena.
38. She came to stand behind the crumpled form and tentatively reached out a trembling hand. The blanched band of skin circling her finger stood out like a guilty secret as she touched his shoulder. He didn’t look up. For what seemed an age, they stood there framed against the dying light until all the guests had made their excuses and left.
39. David lurched forward, knocking people to left and right until he had a clear line of sight. There could be no mistake, it was her. He wanted to shout out, turn circles, dance a jig, but instead a bashful grin spread across his face. She turned her head towards him and beamed. The crowd, the grating tannoy, the glare of the strip lighting all faded away until just the two of them were held in the crystal snow-globe perfection of the moment.
