You have to identify a research paper closely related to the topic of your research. You’ll learn how similar research can be conducted and how research can be improved as well. This will help you conduct your own research as a result. Locate a research article in a discourse-oriented journal (Suggestions: Discourse & Society, Discourse Studies, Text and Talk, Journal of Pragmatics, and English for Specific Purposes.) which can be accessed online through our library website). Other sources are also possible, but please let me know first. The article should have original findings. A position paper or paper purely based on argument is not suitable. It (這篇article我已經在本次郵件的附件有發送,是Francis Gill寫的"Thematic selection and distribution in written discourse") should also be related to the topic of your seminar but the article you choose should be different from your group mates. Your essay should include the following: 1. Summary of the article (not more than one page) 2. Your discussion and evaluation of the ideas in the essay. Try to relate as much as possible to what you have learnt in this subject and what you find in your project. The following procedures are recommended:
•What are the main findings? •Are the findings different from those of your project? Explain the discrepancies (Different methodology or culture?) •Are there any other findings you agree or disagree with? In either case, you should support your argument with relevant examples. •What can be done in the future?#p#分页标题#e# Your discussion and evaluation of the paper should not less than 5 pages (double-spaced). Remember to attach the article (英國指導essay 這篇article我已經在本次郵件的附件有發送,是Francis Gill寫的"Thematic selection and distribution in written discourse") on which your critique is based.
