Students are required to analyse the theories and practices discussed in the first five weeks of the unit, focusing on meaning-making, linguistics, and language development and acquisition theories. They are also required to critically analyse these theories and practices with reference to a contemporary issue regarding language and literacy. The essay will be submitted via Blackboard.
The research essay engages students’ critical thinking, analytical and writing skills and helps them in their analysis and synthesis of the topics covered in the first five weeks of the unit.
Analyse how theories of linguistics, and language development and acquisition can be applied to understand and build responses to practical situations and problems. Key questions include: What is the purpose and main facets of each theory? Why is the perspective included in the theory? What are examples of how the theory can be or has been used? How do the theories shed new light on practical problems? Use this research essay to analyse and synthesise the topics covered in the first six weeks of the unit.
The research essay should be 2,500 words in length. The essay should be well-written, well- organised, and free of errors.
