LITERATURE REVIEW NOTES FOR MY OWN PERSONAL STUDY 1

A remark;  NOTES FROM PAST LITERATURE STUDIES. YOU CAN COPY MINE. MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN SENTENCES WHEN YOU WANT TO FIT THEM INTO YOUR PAPER WRITING.


1. Over the past decades, numerous studies have been conducted with the genre framework. The most influential study is probably the latest conducted by Christie and Derewianka (2008) and Christie (2012). Both studies sampled students’ texts from primary to late secondary school across different subjects in Australia to investigate how their writing developed and what genres they needed to write across the school years before university. They identified typical genres in the students’ writing in different subject areas and summarized the linguistic features.
2. The study (Winfred Wenhui Xuan, 2017) did writing tasks to be studied for his longitudinal study paper. So, I may follow or adapt his method of collecting data like below;
