Whether you’re preparing for a reading comprehension task or honing your writing skills, this resource covers essential strategies and techniques that will boost your understanding of how writers use language to convey meaning and create effects.
In this tutorial, you will:
Understand Explicit and Implicit Meanings: Learn how writers achieve specific effects and influence readers by using both direct (explicit) and indirect (implicit) meanings. We’ll break down key concepts and real examples, ensuring you grasp the power of language.
Imagery Types: We begin with imagery types and how writers use vivid language to evoke sensory experiences (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell).
Word Classes: You’ll also explore word classes (verbs, adjectives, noun-adjective combinations, verb-adverb combinations) and how these are strategically used in writing for enhanced impact.
Figurative Language: Dive deep into similes, metaphors, and other figures of speech. Understand how writers use figurative language to create meaningful and memorable effects.
The DEME Framework: Gain insight into our structured approach to language analysis through the DEME (Device-Evidence-Meaning-Effect) framework.
We’ll demonstrate how to: Identify literary devices (such as metaphors, similes, etc.). Select evidence from the text. Analyse the meaning of words and phrases. Evaluate the effect they have on the reader.
Practical Step-by-Step Analysis: We’ll guide you through a detailed analysis of Paragraphs 5 and 10 of a text, demonstrating how to identify sensory language and explain its effects. Learn how to organise your findings into a clear, structured response that meets the Cambridge IGCSE criteria.
Scaffolded approach: Start with guided examples and then try the analysis on your own with the provided tasks.
Constructing a Response: Learn how to craft a 200-300-word analysis. We’ll show you how to structure your writing effectively to maximise marks, ensuring each sentence is well-supported by evidence and clear analysis.
