Sinossi

World Logic explores the crucial art of crafting believable fictional worlds, vital for both creators and audiences of Film & Television and Language Arts. The book emphasizes the importance of internal logic – the consistent set of rules that govern a fictional universe – illustrating how adherence to these self-imposed rules enhances narrative impact. A key insight is that successful world-building isn't about mimicking reality but about establishing believable parameters and consistently operating within them, ensuring audience engagement and preventing the shattering of disbelief.

 
The book progresses systematically, dissecting successful and unsuccessful examples of world-building across various media and genres. It examines core elements such as history, geography, societal structures, and technology, demonstrating how their consistent interaction shapes immersive narratives.

 
By integrating theoretical frameworks from narratology, semiotics, and insights from cognitive science and game theory, World Logic offers a unique perspective on narrative design and audience perception. Written in an accessible style, the book avoids technical jargon while providing practical insights for writers, filmmakers, and game designers. It offers case studies and exercises to apply these principles, focusing on the underlying mechanics of world-building rather than marketing strategies.

 
Ultimately, World Logic equips readers with the tools to create resonant and enduring fictional worlds, improving not only entertainment but also the development of serious games and educational tools.

Big Questions in ELT

Scott Thornbury

For two years now I’ve been regularly blogging about ELT-related issues that have caught my attention. The topics have been loosely organized around the format of an encyclopaedic dictionary I’d published previously, called An A-Z of ELT. Like many things online, the blog has started to become a little unwieldy, especially for new visitors, so I figured it was time to condense some of the issues and some of the questions into a friendlier format, taking a handful of the original entries as my starting point, re-working them a little to take into account the conversations that evolved online, and presenting them in the form of Big Questions. Each Big Question, therefore, has been generated from one of the original blog posts (and I’ve thrown in a couple of new ones for good measure) and each entry is rounded off by a number of subsidiary questions – the offspring, if you like, of the Big Questions. These questions are designed as an aid to reflection (for the individual reader), or, in a training context, as a way of framing a discussion or workshop. In a sense, they are a means of re-activating, and continuing, the online conversations that the original blog posts triggered. And, if you want to see how those conversations evolved, I’ve provided links to the original articles.
