Reference no: EM132287283 , Length: word count:10000

Assessment Task 1: Redesigning linguistic landscapes

Your task for Assessment 1 is to write a project brief that includes a set of recommendations for redesigning the linguistic landscape (visual, linguistic, aural and oral). You will need to think about the existing language use in this setting, how existing language uses shape the existing linguistic landscape and the changes needed to redesign the linguistic landscape to achieve a specific objective (e.g. to increase plurilingual behaviours) in this setting.

ASSESSMENT 1: PRE-TASK

1. Visit your chosen locale.

2. Explore the locale. Take pictures with the approval of the business owners.

3. Keep a diary entry about how you visualise your locale.

4. Supplement your observations with commentary from the literature in the field to help you draw connections between the locale and the literature. Start with the subject reading list, and expand your readings from there.

5. Think about the primary purpose of the locale, and its clientele.

6. Think about how power comes into play into this landscape.

7. Think about how temporality, activities and people affect this locale.

8. Think about the multilingual vs multicultural nature of this locale.

This pre-task is for your planning purposes. You do not need to submit all the evidence of this activity in your assessment.

ASSESSMENT 1: YOUR WRITTEN PROJECT BRIEF.

The project brief will have these parts.

1. A clear statement of the purpose of the redesign of the linguistic landscape of your chosen setting.

2. A clear description of the historical and present day context of the setting. In this section, compare your setting with similar settings in the literature (e.g. research on the language of shops/school contexts/communities that have a similar purpose or evoke a similar sense of place). Use one or two images from your visits to support your claims. These should be labelled Figure 1, Figure 2 with an appropriate caption.

3. A clear description of current research (current issues in linguistic landscapes that inform your understanding of language use in this type of locale).

4. Five KEY recommendations for change to embrace diversity, multiculturalism and multilingualism in your research site. Your recommendations should be based on your analysis of the research site and relevant literature in the field. Each recommendation should be supported by a detailed explanation (2-3 paragraphs in length)

5. The references that you have cited (following APA 6th format).

Assessment Task 2: Applying your knowledge to a school or other institutional context

Reflect on a school or institutional context that you are or have been a part of. Write an essay or report that:

1. Describes an educational setting and its language practices.

2. Discusses the types of language policies discussed in the research literature and consider how such policies help to promote/inhibit multilingualism.

3. Identifies the range of formal and informal language policies at your chosen education setting based on the criteria identified in (2) above.

4. Consider how school/institutional formal and informal (defacto) language policies might usefully change to further embrace multilingualism and diversity, and empower individuals to speak and write in particular ways. In your reflection, consider language as encompassing the written landscape of the classroom/school/institution, the activities that individuals engage in, and the talk that occurs in and out of the classroom context, and the place as a whole. Provide a rationale for your proposed initiatives and support these with evidence from the research literature.
