An essay focusing on the profiled pupil, In the context of their educational social and community environment

Your essay will include a description and analysis of the educational, social and community contexts of your profiled pupil. Your discussion will include an analysis of the specific needs of EAL pupils and recommended teaching strategies identified or observed. Where appropriate, your discussion will critically engage with knowledge and research on effective EAL pedagogy encountered on the Module.

The overall presentation of your work must be clear, coherent and legible. Use the following questions to guide you through key processes in carrying out your assignment:

1. Length - is my piece of coursework within the required length?

2. Content - has my work answered (or engaged with) the set question/topic? Have I referred to the key theories, ideas and/or models we covered in class to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of the topic under discussion? Are the points I make relevant and focused? Have the required Learning Outcomes for this assignment been clearly demonstrated in my work?

3. Organisation - Is there a clear introduction explaining how I have structured the essay? Is the development of my discussion easy to follow? Have I used section divisions to give a clear focus to each part to guide the marker? i.e. clearly marked paragraphs in an essay or sub-headings In a report. Does my conclusion serve its function appropriately in relation to the earlier sections of the work?

4. Coherence - do I have a clear idea of my general argument / discussion / analysis? How well have I shown connections between the main points? Are my paragraphs linked? Am I just reproducing the views of others or writing in my own voice? Do I provide evidence in support of my arguments?

5. Presentation - have I followed the academic writing and referencing conventions? Is the work typed up - 12point and one-and-a-half line spacing? How well have I checked my work for legibility; unwieldy senten grammar, spelling and punctuation; vocabulary and phrasing?

6. In-text references and accompanying list of references - have I provided clear and adequate references academic sources referred to in my work? Have I listed all the sources I used In the list of references? Have I acknowledged the work of others through the use of quotation marks, citations as well as the list of references? Academic writing/assessment tasks on this module must conform to the requirements of the Harvard referencing conventions.
