Text analysis details
This document provides an overview of a text analysis assignment where students analyze the language features of a text that makes it difficult for language learners. Students are asked to submit a 1-page analysis and 3-page summary by February 20th, analyzing the text at the discourse, sentence, and word level. The analysis is worth 20% of the student's grade. The document instructs students to choose a relevant text, such as a children's book for primary teachers, and to submit their analysis through the assignment link on the school's online platform by the due date. Students are encouraged to practice by reviewing modules on academic language and participating in online discussions, and the teacher provides contact information for any additional help.
