Contemporary Issues in Language Teaching

Explore two key issues(there is a table under the paragraph) in contemporary second/ foreign language teaching(2,000 words).
See the Table below for the list of topics to choose from.《I prefer to use TBL（Task-Based Language Learning）and CLT（Communicative Language Teaching）》

1. Synthesise your knowledge and understanding by drawing on the second language research literature (800 words);
2. Explore the pedagogical implications by linking theory to practice(800 words)
   1. How can different theoretical frameworks be applied toclassroom practices?
   2. Provide a focussed and detailed discussion to justify yourarguments.
3. Propose an eclectic and pluralistic approach to language teachingwhich suits their future teaching context (400 words)
   1. Based on the critical discussion presented above, what might bethe limitations of the chosen issues?
   2. What might be the potential barriers when implementing thesepedagogical approaches to your future students?
   3. What changes would you make to the theories/pedagogical approaches and why?

(Although students are asked to write their essay based on two key issues, it is possible that the discussion goes beyond this and incorporates other relevant issues. However, the essay should remain focussed throughout.)
4.Include a list of the references consulted (following APA 6 for both in-text citation and the full references). For Part 2 Written Essay, the number of high quality references should be no fewer than 10. You are expected to show evidence of reading and thought beyond course/assignment materials.High quality references typically refer to published work which are seminal or within the last 5-10 years.
