1.1 PART 1: CRITIQUE OF A TEACHING RESOURCE (50%) By means of a 1,500 word-essay, students will critique one existing language teaching resource (e.g., a series of tasks, a worksheet, a coursebook page, an app, an online activity) designed to help English language learners to develop competence in one dimension (e.g., lexis, pronunciation, grammar, listening skills) of language teaching. Students will critically assess one such resource from the perspective of the knowledge about language acquired in the class and the context in which it might be used. Suggested structure of the essay: a. Title: (e.g “ A critique of a teaching resource”) b. Introduction (30-50 words): State the aim of the essay (What specific focus will you use to analyse the resource?) c. A brief description of the resource (include the resource itself or a link if appropriate, acknowledge full reference to it) and the context in which it appears to be used if known (150-200 words). d. Analysis of the resource in one specific dimension (1,200 words): first, briefly state how your analysis is organised, ie, what specific aspects you will analyse; secondly, analyse each aspect providing theoretical support and including specific examples from the resource. Tip: each paragraph should focus on one aspect at a time. e. Conclusion (50 words): Return to the aim of the essay and reflect on the extent you have achieved it and how. f. References (APA 7th ed) Make sure that every section in your essay includes a numbered heading. That contributes to organisation and clarity. 1.2 PART 2: DESIGN OF A TEACHING RESOURCE (50%) Students will design a new resource to help English language learners to develop competence in at least one of the following areas – sound, structure, and meaning. The resource should be approached as a follow-up of the 3 resource critiqued in Part 1. A 1,000 word essay will set out a rationale for this resource, drawing on the knowledge about language acquired in the class and setting out ways in which learners’ competence in this context might be further developed. Suggested structure: a. Title b. Introduction (50 words): State the aim of the essay. c. The resource (150 words): Briefly describe the resource you have designed and what the aim of the resource is. Also, include here the resource itself or a link to it if applicable. Note: The resource itself is not included in the word count. d. Justification (700 words): Explain in what ways the knowledge developed in the module informs your decisions underpinning the resource design. Make reference to concepts and authors addressed in the module. e. Conclusion (100 words): Reflect on any limitations your own resource may have in relation to its intended aim. f. References (APA 7th ed.). Make sure that every section in your essay includes a numbered heading. That contributes to organisation and clarity. 1.3 REFERENCES Include a list of the references consulted (following APA 7 th edition for both in-text citation and the full references). In total, both essays combined should have a minimum of ten high quality references. References should appear at the end of each part. High quality references typically refer to published work which are seminal or within the last 5-10 years. They can be peer reviewed journal articles, peer reviewed book chapters, monographs, edited books, government reports and so on. A good starting point are the references your tutors have used in their slides, the class reading list and further suggested reading.
