Issues in language learning
write a critical discussion paper based on the following article:
Menard-Warwick, J., 2008, ‘The Cultural and Intercultural Identities of Transnational English Teachers: Two Case Studies from the Americas’, TESOL Quarterly 42/4, 617-640
Questions to consider in your assignment:
What is this article about?
How does it relate to things you’ve been reading about, discussing on this and other modules and to your own experience?
What does the research contribute to debates and discussions about language learning and teaching?
Is there anything in the article that particularly interests or appeals to you? Why?
Is there anything you disagree with or are not convinced by? Why?
These questions are intended as a guide to the paper. You do not have to follow them in this order. You should not answer them in a question and answer format. However, you must address the topics indicated by the questions in responding to the article. You are required to write a coherent essay.
Use five sources published after 2001 (paraphrase and do not provide direct quotations, as this is a short essay) to back up your points. Provide references for the sources you use, e.g. (Brown 2010: 97). List your references in an alphabetical order in the reference section at the end of your essay, e.g. Brown, K. (2010) Language Learning and Teaching in the Modern World. London: Dana Publications.
