Writing style

Posted on at



  • Try to write in a friendly and informal style. Use first person ‘I’ and try to include reference to your own context and teaching experience. Remember that the honest and open views of a novice teacher can be just as interesting and informative as those of an expert. Think about your readers and what they can learn from your experience.

  • Try to describe rather than tell e.g. instead of saying you thought a book was great, try to explain why you enjoyed it and what you learned from it.

  • Try to question your reader and ask for their response to what you have written.

  • Always be polite, respectful of other cultures and opinions, and informative.
