Language Feature Analysis helps students identify techniques, draw inferences, and write analytical paragraphs — step by step, on their own.

What it is

Language Feature Analysis is a reference and guided analysis tool covering 38 language techniques — from metaphor and personification to sentence structure, punctuation, and parts of speech.

It is designed for students in Years 11–13 who are working with literary or non-fiction texts for coursework or exams. It works alongside whatever text a student is studying, not instead of it.

There is no instruction or teaching in the tool. It is a structured space for students to do their own thinking.


Who it's for

Students

Working independently on a close reading task, homework, or exam preparation. The tool provides structure without doing the thinking for you.

Parents

Supporting a child with language analysis homework. The reference cards explain what each technique is and what to look for, so you can follow along and ask useful questions.


How it works

The tool has two parts: a reference library and a guided workshop. Students can use either or both.

1
Reference library

38 feature cards covering definition, example, effect, and analysis questions. Searchable and filterable by category. Students can browse or look up a specific technique from their text.

2
Guided workshop

A six-step process that takes a student from selecting a feature to writing an analytical paragraph. Each step builds on the last.

The workshop is built around three layers of reading:

📖 On the lines Identify the technique — what it is, where it appears, and which words create it.
💭 Between the lines Draw inferences — what the technique suggests, implies, or makes you feel as a reader.
🌐 Beyond the lines Consider significance — what the technique means in a broader sense, and how to write about it analytically.
