Condensing is reducing the length of an utterance without losing meaning; it is not paraphrasing or summarising. This session review four main types of condensing language, examples and approaches, for Advanced English users and teachers.
In this session, we review
- reduction
- anaphoric and cataphoric reference
- substitution and ellipsis
- encompassing editing, rewriting
- implications for the classroom
- problem clinic
This session is an overview. Remember, developing competencies in writing, in this case in precision and succinctness, requires practice and feedback so get that pencil sharpened!
