You will write an essay on a negotiated topic related to LPP drawn from the course topics, discussions, and readings. You must have negotiated a detailed topic for the paper with the lecturer/tutor. This should be seen as an intensive piece of writing that uses an LPP perspective discussed in the course and carefully follows good editorial practice. The work is based on the review of the relevant literature, and you will put forward an original argument about a particular concept, theme, or topic.
This assessment task is an academic exercise, but it will include implications for language policy and planning.
