Redesigning linguistic landscapes

Order Description
the assignment is to write a project brief that includes a set of recommendations for redesigning the linguistic landscape (visual, linguistic, aural and oral) of a setting where language(s) and literacy/ies are key issues. You will need to think about the existing language use in this setting, how existing language uses shape the existing linguistic landscape and the changes needed to redesign the linguistic landscape to achieve a specific objective (e.g. to increase plurilingual behaviours) in this setting.

The project brief will have these parts.
1. A clear statement of the purpose of the redesign of the linguistic landscape of your chosen setting(your specific objective).
2. A clear statement of the types of language policy issues that you are exploring that connect with your chosen setting, with reference to the literature on language policy.
3. A clear description of the historical and present day context of the setting. In this section, compare your setting with similar settings in the literature (e.g. other schools/universities/community centres/institutions with a similar sense of place). Use one or two images from your walks to support your claims. These should be labelled Figure 1, Figure 2 with an appropriate caption.
4. A clear description of current research on linguistic landscapes, and how this literature provides details about the types of changes that are required in your chosen setting, and the benefits that this research offers.
5. A clear description of the additional sociolinguistic literature that relates to language use that you intend use to frame your research recommendations. Keep in mind that much of the existing literature on linguistic landscapes has little to say about literacy, language-in-interaction or constructs such as gender.
6. Five KEY recommendations and their rationale. Each recommendation should be supported by a detailed explanation (2-3 paragraphs in length)
7. A list of more than 15 references that you have cited (following APA 6th format). “I will provide the list”
Marks will be deducted for (a) lack of clarity of ideas and writing (b) insufficient detail (c) unsupported claims (d) unclear argumentation (e) inadequate referencing.
