This is a literature review for an APK essay (PGCE Modern Foreign Languages) in which I explore the impact of using CLIL approach to improve motivation and, potentially, help to raise the number of students who choose languages in GCSEs in the UK. I already have around 500 words of the literature review. Attached, there is a draft I wrote of the LR revised by a tutor from the university who gives me some feedback. I would like the Literature Review to follow the tutor’s recommendations.

The graduate analyzes assessment data to draw conclusions about students’ progress and address any gaps in learning.
In this task, you will analyze the data set provided via the attached “Data Set
Assignment Form” by reporting summative proficiency scores for students, explaining the method used to determine those scores, and disaggregating the data based
on student subgroups. Then, you will evaluate the data to draw conclusions
about individual student and whole-class proficiency, aberrant patterns or
outliers, and student learning at the subgroup level.
A. Analyze the assessment data from the attached “Data Set Assignment Form” by doing the following:
1. Submit a table reporting an overall summative proficiency score for each student for the measurement topic.
2. Explain how the summative proficiency scores in part A1 were determined.
3. Disaggregate the data according to student subgroups.
B. Evaluate students’ summative scores by doing the following:
1. Draw conclusions about student learning based on patterns of scores at the
individual student and whole-class level.
2. Draw conclusions about any outliers or aberrant patterns present in the data set
at the individual student level.
3. Draw conclusions about student learning at the subgroup level based
on the disaggregated data.
Revision
B3 subgroups
The work duly notes the proficiency level of each subgroup. The evaluation is insufficient because noting the proficiency levels of subgroups does not meet the criteria for conclusions about student learning.

The graduate designs assessments that measure how well students have mastered
specific knowledge and skills described in local, state, or national learning standards.
In this task, you will create a proficiency scale.
Using that proficiency scale, you will design an assessment blueprint and create sample items for that assessment.
Part I: Create a Proficiency Scale
A. Complete the “Proficiency Scale Template” section of the attached “Proficiency Scale and Assessment Blueprint Template” by doing the following:
Note: The work you completed for Task 1 could be incorporated into this task.
While this is recommended, it is not required.
1. Identify the subject, grade level, and standard that will be used for the proficiency scale.
Note: Remember to cite the source of each identified standard.
2. Write a focus statement and measurement topic related to the standard identified
in part A1.
3. Create a proficiency scale for one specific measurement topic (e.g., organisms, samples, reading strategies, the sun and earth, body control, federal taxes, landscape patterns, personal health goals).
4. Identify whether the proficiency scale was designed to measure declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge, or both.
Part II: Design an Assessment
B. Create an assessment blueprint using
the “Assessment Blueprint Template” section of the attached “Proficiency Scale and Assessment Blueprint Template” for the proficiency scale from part A by doing the following:
1. Identify the taxonomy level of the specific skills or content knowledge for each level
of the proficiency scale.
2. Identify which types of items (e.g., matching,
multiple choice, short written response, essay) are logical for each level considering
the complexity of the specific skills or content knowledge for that level of the scale.
3. Identify the number of items for each level of the selected proficiency scale to prompt the best evidence of student knowledge.
4. Write one sample assessment item for each level of the selected proficiency scale.
REVISION
You do a nice job providing the type of knowledge needed by noting the procedural knowledge needed to master content in the existing proficiency scale. You demonstrate an effective understanding of the type of items that should be assessed at various levels by incorporating essays and more complex tasks at higher proficiency levels and multiple-choice tasks at lower proficiency levels. Please see the comments in the rubric for needed revisions.
A3 proficiecy scale
The work provides a sufficient overview of a proficiency scale with
four different levels. The submission is not accurate because the proficient (target) level
should align with the expectation of the standard and focus statement, and it is not clear
why the learning target proficient level is written differently in Part I and Part II.
A4
The response clearly identifies that procedural knowledge will be measured. The
work is not complete because revisions to the proficiency scale could impact the development of this aspect.
B1 skills or content knowledge
The submission adequately outlines a
variety of taxonomy levels that will be addressed. The work is not complete because
specific taxonomy levels for some learning targets may need to be adjusted after revisions to the proficiency scale are made.
B2 item types
The work provides a sufficient overview of a proficiency scale with four
different levels. The submission is not accurate because the proficient (target) level
should
align with the expectation of the standard and focus statement, and it is not clear why the
learning target proficient level is written differently in Part I and Part II.
B3 number of items
The response clearly outlines the number of items for each existing
proficiency level. The submission is incomplete because revisions to the proficiency scale
may impact the number of items needed to assess the learning targets.
B4 items
The sample assessment items are briefly identified in the graphic organizer. The submission is not complete because revisions to the proficiency scale are needed.

As you learned this week, most educational areas of topical interest can be the subject of either theoretical (basic/fundamental) or applied research, but the research must align with your degree program.
For this assignment, you will consider your area of interest from both theoretical and applied research approaches. In light of what you learned about the differential focus and scope of EdD and PhD dissertation research and the role of problem and purpose statements in research, write problem statement and purpose statement sentences from both research foci.
Then, make sure to use all of the information you have learned from the course, textbook, and the resources provided for this assignment to develop the statement of the problem into two complete paragraphs of no more than 250-300 words and cite the relevant literature that supports this ongoing problem of inquiry.
Organize your work as follows:
Section 1: Find one dissertation in the library ProQuest database, find the problem statement, then assess the problem statement in one paragraph. Make sure your assessment includes the specific problem sentence and whether this sentence fits the requirements for a strong problem statement as indicated in the lesson materials and resources for the week; be sure to specifically discuss why or why not.
Section 2: A one-paragraph summary of your topical area of interest
Section 3: A side-by-side (example below) presentation of problem and purpose statement sentences for your potential study, from both a theoretical (basic/fundamental-PhD) and applied (EdD and EdS) focus. ( this needs to be a table

Please to provide accurate information and eveidence for this proposal.
This education is in Jamaica so please all data collected and information must relate to the school in Jamaica and their education system.

I need to write the literature review of this study.
“Exploring the use of technology in English language classes in Islamic Schools in Canada through the Cultural Historical Activity Theory: difficulties and opportunities for development.
My study involves researching the current use of technology in English language classes in Islamic schools in Canada and analyzing it through the lens of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory.
It may also examine any difficulties that arise in the implementation of technology in these classes, as well as potential opportunities for development.
Please keep in mind that this chapter will provide an overview of existing research on the use of technology in English language classes, as well as research on Islamic schools in Canada and Cultural-Historical Activity Theory.
You could begin by reviewing the literature on technology integration in education and the ways in which it can support or hinder language learning, specifically within the context of Islamic schools in Canada. Additionally, research on Cultural-Historical Activity Theory and its application to education and technology integration may be useful.
This chapter might include the following (But not limited to): (You need to add your input too and use the order of sections as they make sense to you)
• Previous research on education in Canada ( with regard to technology).
• Previous research on the use of technology in English language classes
• Previous research on the use of technology in Islamic schools (in the west, Canada)
Please note:
Each paragraph needs to start with an argument, and an explanation should follow.
Each section should start with an introduction and end with a conclusion that introduces the next section (signposting is important).

Please proofread the reflection of my lesson plan which I had some weeks ago. Do not correct the German words! They should be included in the reflection.
