On page ____ of Effective Literacy Strategies in Years 9 to 13 (Ministry of Education, 2004), the main purposes for academic writing are listed as: identify, describe, explain, discuss, argue, justify, apply, analyse, and evaluate. Beside each of these purposes is a definition of the processes involved in it. For example, “explain” is defined as: “Write a detailed account of how and why – procedures or methods; how things happen or work; reasons for action or event.”
The conventions of an explanation, then, include giving details about how something happens or works and/or the reasons why it happens or works in that way. This means that an explanation is likely to include some language features that indicate the sequence in which something happens, and others that indicate cause and effect. It is useful to give EAL (and all) students explicit teaching about these conventions.
