Hi teachers!
Tired of reteaching the same English concepts?
Give kids tools to actually remember!
The TeacherTalk Glossary of Literary Devices (GOLD) empowers students to independently connect the Australian English Curriculum V9 to classroom texts and their own writing, so they can see the expectations, see their own mistakes, and edit for success!
How?
- Our glossaries explain each V9 English curriculum concept with examples.
- Each concept comes with an Eng-CodeĀ®ā€”a simple, visual tool that helps students identify these concepts in classroom texts and their own writing (see samples below).
- Each glossary includes 4 brief lessons to boost text analysis, language skills, and editing.
- The included Literary Language Journal helps students capture topic language and 'evidence from the text' for assessments.
- Activities target personal weaknesses - such as punctuation, sentence structure, literary devices and more - to boost results in each English unit.

Our glossaries address the following:

How can students master concepts if they've forgotten them?
Open our glossaries on classroom devices to ease the cognitive load!Ā Our glossaries include everything from punctuation and sentence types to poetic devices, metaphor, pun and more! Empower students to work at their own level, generate visible evidence of learning, and strive for GOLD!
2
How can we make learning visible and measurable?
It's easy! Just as young students 'decode' words into phonics, students use Eng-CodesĀ® to annotate texts, revealing how curriculum concepts (or 'literary devices') work together to create meaning.
Importantly, Eng-CodesĀ® are consistent from Prep to Year 12, are easy to use, make learning visible, and provide evidence of achievement with version 9 curriculum concepts across all English units.
3
How can students remember complex vocabulary?
Capturing topic language is easy with our Literary Language Journal. Our scaffolds are streamlined from Prep to Year 12, supporting differentiation as students progress from illustrations to written language. Each scaffold also includes space to Eng-CodeĀ® language, preparing students for analytical assessments.
4
How can students edit if they don't know what to fix?
Students learn to Eng-CodeĀ® their own writing to understand what the teacher sees, identify their weaknesses. Go for GOLD in English lessons, literacy groups, reading rotations, and homework tasks.
5
How can we accelerate version 9 aligned learning in all English units?
Access our glossaries on classroom devices to help students analyse curriculum concepts across genres, authors, and media, empowering them to demonstrate achievement across all English units.
6
How can we boost English results for all?
