 Key literature

English as a Foreign Language (EFL)

language at early age primary school and suggested to examine the curriculum and other
documents also language learning policy; and language teaching methodology, as the
principles underlying the conceptual framework, to investigate what the focus of the

are implemented namely : document reviews; observations; and interviews firstly info ,
was gathered by document reviews of official documents, like curriculum, course
syllabus, from this particular school, and some more qualitative data after gathered in
 the form of field notes from approaching observations and from structured interviews.
The document reviews aim to get ‘necessary background of the situation and insights
into the dynamics of everyday functioning’ (Mertens 1998: 324) of the instruction of EFL
in [COUNTRY].

Look again at the proposal paragraph by paragraph, or section by section, and consider the
contribution to the proposal as argument or case each paragraph. (Try to answer the
question: What is the writer trying to show here?).

In the first paragraph the writer introduced the reseach on English learning at early age

In the second paragraph he presented theoretical framework based on references and

previous studies

Then presented the different objectives, the different research questions

After the research design and various tools from qualitative and quantitative one.

Finally he presented the importance of the research and it contribution in the academic
context.

Task 3

In small groups, identify the writing styles and features in the research proposals that
surprise you, or are new to you. Prepare a brief list of these for discussion in the workshop
on Day 3.
The writer used academic English with present tense and affirmative sentences. He used
coordination and subordination with connecters and linkers to emphasis addition, reason
