Task: Write a 2-4 page typed, double spaced analysis of the argument your work makes about society? Your paper should be a balance of formalist as well as other appropriate critical approaches to support your thesis. Include original ideas about the significance of reading this work in today’s world.

Write a full two-page reading response to a poem/verse/lyric explication presentation by a classmate.  This assignment is essentially a ‘first-response’ paper.  As you know, these papers mean to elicit a ‘gut’ response from you which focuses on a central meaning or theme.  With an initial response, unlike your formal essays, you will not be required to write in the 3rd-person voice/tone, where the emphasis is a passable objective discussion of the subject rather than with a 1st-person impression. Formatting Requirements:  MLA format (double-spacing; 1” margins; Times New Roman 12-pt. font; label upper-left corner of 1st page:  name, class, my name, assignment, date; upper-right corner of all other pages use a header with last name then page number). NOTE:  Response paper must be at least 2 FULL pages to avoid an automatic 20% deduction.  Label in upper-left corner does not count toward pages. Your response may explore questions stemming from your readings in poetry: What are some feelings evoked by your reading/listening to the poem/verse/lyric?  What are some feelings evoked by your reading/listening to your classmate’s presentation?  What is the significance of your emotional response to the presentation or the poetic work itself? What significant point(s) is the poem’s author making through the theme(s)? How do various elements of the poem—diction, word order, denotation/connotation, figures of speech, tone, images, symbol, as well as of the sound (if a song) influenced by rhyme, rhythm, instrument(s), voice(s), and/or ‘found’ noises—reinforce its meanings? How are the elements related to the whole (that is, its theme)?

In this final Critical Thinking Assignment I am asking you to reflect upon your own language learning. Using key ideas we have seen in the textbook, as well as getting information from  the articles posted below, describe your own personal experience with learning the language you chose to study to the 4th level.  Your essay should discuss the following points: 1 – The learning.acquisition distinction and how it applies to YOU. Are you learning, acquiring, or do you find that both processes are at play?  2 – Factors that influence learning / acquisition  age, affective factors, personality traits, motivation, learning style, the effect of teaching methods) as they apply to YOU. Which factors affect you the most?  3 – The kinds of errors you make: What is their source (e.g. L1 interference, transfer from other language(s), overgeneralization? none of the above?) When do you make errors the most / the least? How do you feel about being corrected? Do you think it’s necessary / effective/ ineffective? Why?  3 – Your personal challenges as well as strategies you have found helpful  in your learning.  Keeping a diary with detailed notes about your language learning experience for a few days will help you provide concrete examples like the ones in the article “Learning Spanish as an Older Adult” by Schulz and Elliott.  SOURCES TO BE USED AND CITED:  1.  (Our textbook): Yule, George. The Study of Language.  2    Schulz,  Renate A., and Phillip Elliott. “Learning Spanish as an Older Adult”.  https://dc153.dawsoncollege.qc.ca:2182/stable/pdf/346149.pdf?refreqid=excelsior%3Abd3d60dee27ae83c64395d0086c2b317   ( available through the Dawson Library –  log in in order to download).  3.  Trafton, Anne. “Cognitive scientists define critical period for learning language.” https://news.mit.edu/2018/cognitive-scientists-define-critical-period-learning-language-0501 Note that the above listings do not contain all necessary bibliographical information, nor are they in alphabetical order!
