Comment:

Mohammed ,

I am confused. Your report in to the ‘ EFFECTIVE PEDAGOGIES TO TEACH ENGLISH READING SKILLS TO A COHORT OF YEAR SEVEN SAUDI ARABIAN STUDENTS’ appears as if it has already been conducted. You write in the past tense and provide ‘data’ from what appears to be a completed study. Is this a past investigation you have conducted? The gaol of this assignment is to construct a question to be investigated and demonstrate reading and consideration of methodology prior to commencing the project. I have struggled to ‘mark’ this work and I have marked your work according to the criteria for this assignment but I am concerned that this is work taken from previous study. I am interested to hear in what context and for what purpose this investigation was conducted and when. A requirement of this degree is that work submitted be original. Can we please discuss this assignment when we next meet.
