Talk:Language teaching/Fast ForWord

In terms of the research component of this chapter, I believe the author deserves an A. There was sufficient research conducted on the topic, which came from a vast amount of sources. All of the sources appear to be relevant sources, and the viewpoints from these sources are supported by either other sources found by the author.

For logic and organization, again, I believe the author deserves an A+. The flow of the chapter is ideal for learning about the topic. The only suggestion I can come up with to enhance the flow would be to tidy up the “How Does It Work?” section, there are quite a few examples that could be explained better, prior to being presented. Maybe a complete section labeled “Games” could help make the distinction easier.

For Analysis and Integration, I believe the author deserves an A-. There is evidence that the information portrayed in the chapter was critically analyzed and well thought out. Despite being analyzed and well integrated, there is however little evidence of the information being of an original thought or idea. I would suggest making an attempt to draw some personal conclusions on the topic and or other scenarios in which FastForword could be used.

In the Answers Question/Makes Argument section, I would give the author an A+. The chapter is extremely focused on the topic, and remains that way throughout. Every point made by the author is strong backed by evidence found within the reliable sources used by the author.

For Writing Style, the author again I believe deserves an A+. There are rarely any spelling or grammatical errors, and the chapter is presented in a logical and professional manner. The usage of references throughout the chapter also adds to the professional feel of the chapter.

In terms of Structure I think the chapter should be given an A. The introduction clearly states what the chapter will be about, and each section that follows adds to the information provided in the introduction. The only thing missing from the structure in my opinion is a conclusion. Although there is an adequate section on problems and criticisms, to complete the chapter there should have been a concluding section based on what had been learned or discussed in the preceding sections.

In my overall opinion, the chapter was written in a very professional and concise manner. All points are directly focused on the main topic, and are backed fully by relevant sources. The suggestions I offer would be to include some personal conclusions and ideas on the topics as well as to tidy up some of the larger sections. Including a conclusion section would also be beneficial for the reader.
