Essays / Help on Second Language Acquisition (Ellis's Ten Principles of Instructed Language) [4]

Hi everyone!

I am doing a Critique Paper on Ellis's Ten Principles of Instructed Language Learning for my final term SLA.

To be honest, I have no idea about both the Principles and the kind of Critique writing.

The instruction from my Professor is: it must be 2500 words and the paper must show the understanding connecting with my teaching experience.

Can anyone give me helps on this? Any ideas or sample writing similar to this?

Essays / Help on Literature Review of a TESOL Research Paper! [2]

I'm doing a "Literature Review" of a TESOL Research Paper. The topic is "Gender Differences and Second Language Leaning".

Traditionally, when we do the Literature review section, we use books and books as main references. But with this paper, my Prof ask me to use Research-based journal articles as the only references (books are not allowed).

What I have to do is google and select at least 8 articles relating to the topic "Gender and Language Learning". Then summarize the introduction, findings, discussion of those selected articles (not summarize the Literature review of those articles).

I have some big problems with this! Can anyone help me?

(1) I try to search for the articles relating to the topic! But the result is just few. Does anybody have access to those resources.

(2) How can we do a literature review based on the Findings and Discussion?

Please help me!
