Second Language Acquisition from a Universal Grammar Perspective Paper I did task 1A which is a topic motivation but I got the feedback from the lecturer and he is not happy with it for some reasons.he said ((Usually ‘grammar’ (no matter how it is defined) is understood as a part of the (second) language that is being acquired. It isn’t clear to me how ‘grammar’ can affect the process of second language acquisition. There could be particular processes that are influenced by specific grammatical features. Is this what you mean? The example that you attribute to Krashen (2012) distinguishes ‘Romance’ languages [a specific category of languages; ‘romantic’ language is a different categorisation that would contrast with e.g., ‘abusive’ language] from other languages (but not ‘universal’) because in Romance languages (among others) nouns have specific ‘non-natural’ genders, but I don’t see how you are connecting this with ‘grammar change’ or ‘language dynamism’. ‘Universal grammar’ is a particular *theory* of grammar which makes specific claims about what it is that is represented in the human brain, but ‘Universal grammar’ claims to be exactly that ‘universal’ to ALL languages. It may be that your question/topic is something like ‘what would SLA look like from a universal grammar perspective?’ [but you would have to narrow your focus quite considerably to something within Universal Grammar to be able to explore it in a case study.)) So this is the task 1B Literature Review with the updated topic(what would second language acquisition look like from a universal grammar perspective?)provide a list of ten (10) relevant journal references, at least seven (7) of which have been published after 2000. All journals need volume and issue numbers and also doi. 1b – literature review

Submission Details
A 2,000-word review of second language acquisition research literature that will provide the background for the small research
project that is Part 3 of your assessment.
Grading Criteria and Feedback
Critically informed definition of topic (3 points)
How precise is the definition of what is to be explored and how carefully have appropriate alternative definitions been located
and compared?
Comprehensiveness and relevance of literature reviewed (6 points)
Does the literature cover an appropriate range of relevant literature for both the definition of the topic and the second language
acquisition findings related to the topic?
Perceptiveness and connectedness of the literature review (6 points)
Does the review build up a coherent view of the relevant literature? Are relevant findings presented together and compared?
Does the review go beyond a descriptive summary of the content to present a perceptive overall view of the topic from an
appropriate second language acquisition perspective?
Focus of the question (3 points)
Is the question for the case study appropriately defined and clearly related to the findings of the literature review?
Referencing conventions (2 points)
Are in-text references and the reference list complete and in accordance with APA 6?
Description of Task
The central task of your literature review is to demonstrate that you understand:
1) the feature/issue that you will explore in your full study (500 words maximum)
2) what has already been established by research into the second language acquisition of that feature/issue (1,000 – 1,300
words)
3) how your study will use the SLA literature in framing your research question (200 – 500 words)
Your literature review must conclude with your research question in a way that clearly shows how your research question
builds on what has already been established in the literature.
Your literature review must show a critical understanding of relevant readings, be presented in consistent and reliable English
that shows YOUR thinking and how YOU have developed your argument by using the evidence in the readings. You must
consistently use APA 6.
You must consistently and accurately reference what you have read, both in the text and in the reference list using the APA 6
format. The work must be YOUR OWN.
There is no set number of articles that you should read, but if your reference list is shorter than ABOUT 20 articles/books, it is
probably not detailed enough. While you MAY use readings that have been included in the subject guide, these readings should
not be a major part of the material in the literature review.
