*SUBJECT *

*Write an essay which **presents* *an argument of relevance to
second/foreign language learning or acquisition*.
*THE ESSAY*

An essay is *not* a research report, with its standard format of literature
review, methodology, results, and conclusion. Moreover, it does not consist
merely of a literature review chapter extracted from a thesis or
dissertation.

What is required is something different. Like all academic work, it should
be rational and scholarly. The chosen topic should ideally be handled with
aplomb, seeking to engage and entertain readers as well as inform them, and
stimulate ideas. The essay might also reflect on, challenge, or question
any number of ideas and assumptions. It most likely will be speculative,
persuasive, provocative, personal, or controversial. The most effective
essays are often personal. Above all, it should be interesting.
