Outline for writing your small-scale literature review:
Introduction (15 points)
The introduction is used to establish the context of your review to the reader. Be sure to use the three areas (Problem, Significance, and Purpose of the Study)as subheadings in your Introduction. To establish the context, it is important to do the following in this opening paragraph:
Problem: Define the topic of your study and provide any background information that helps your reader to understand the topic.
Significance: Explain your reason (perspective) for reviewing the literature on this topic.
Purpose of the Study: Explain the purpose of your study, why it is important to you and end include your your research question(s) that will be addressed.
Body (20 points)
This section of your paper begins with an explanation of how you have organized your literature review and describes findings from articles that provide answers to your inquiry question. Before you begin this section, be sure that you have sorted your articles into different themes based on the articles’ findings (sometimes called results). After you sort your articles, it is important to give your sorted groups a descriptive name. The names of the sorted articles will become your headings for each of the paragraphs that you write in the body of your review. To write the body of your small-scale literature review, it is important to include the following:
Write an introduction paragraph for the body of your review. This paragraph tells the reader specific information on how many articles you reviewed and how you sorted the articles into common themes based on the findings (results).
This will be a paragraph that describes the first theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the second theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
This will be a paragraph that describes the third theme that you identified and compare, contrast and/or connect the articles you’ve selected.
Summary (10 points)
This is the last paragraph of your literature review. In this paragraph, it is important to summarize the main findings from the articles that you reviewed and to point out the information that you found particularly important to know that helps to answer the research question(s) that you established in the Purpose of the Study. Try to conclude your paper by connecting your research question back to the context of the general topic of study.

#2  Teaching English-Language Learners: What Does the Research Tell Us?   By Sarah D. Sparks
Nearly 3 in 4 American classrooms now includes at least one English-language learner, and these students make up roughly 1 in 10 public school students.  While their numbers continue to rise quickly, the evidence on what works best to help non-native speakers become proficient in English—particularly the more formal academic language needed for school success—has been harder to come by.

Reflection: 
Write a minimum of 300 words essay, reflecting how the information in these articles has helped you better understand the  context and history of ESL teaching.

For this activity, you will make three lists.
First, you will create a list of ten teratogens and explain the result of exposure to each teratogen and any interventions that may be made once exposed.
Second, you will create a list of five genetic and chromosomal abnormalities and explain the results of these abnormalities and discuss any interventions that might be made to support the child and parents.
Third, you will create a list of resources to assist families that have experienced any of the above situations. Where might they get support, guidance, or medical intervention? You must have a combination of local, state, and national resources and include contact information and a brief description of the resources.
Please submit your lists in one document and use headings for each list. Remember, this is not a paper. You are submitting three different lists with appropriate descriptions and citations. Do not forget to cite course-related materials using APA format.

Read the article.
Write a 1-2 page paper on your chosen article (1-2 pages, not including title or reference pages). The body of your article review should contain content supporting the following sections:
Article Summary
Relation to Text (this would correlate as types of families-dual-wage earners, blended families, single-parent families,  family culture/values)
Contribution to the Field of Family Science
Personal/Professional Application (how this would apply to the classroom as a teacher)
Review the paper paying special attention to APA formatting (title page, section headings, citation) and grammatical errors. Please consult the Purdue Writing Lab to make sure your paper aligns with APA 7 format.

Over the course of the course, you will complete a self-study as you consider your development over the course of your life thus far. Each piece of your self-study will be combined at the end of the course, presenting the ‘Story of Your life from a Developmental Perspective’. You will trace your physical, intellectual, and personality/social/emotional development from conception through adolescence. This may be accomplished in several ways:
You may collect anecdotal records of your past development.
You may collect data from pictures, letters, or home videos/recordings.
You may reflect on your memories of past events.
You may conduct interviews with family and friends.
Please Note: If you cannot find information about your prenatal care and birth, please share what you do know about yourself and these events.
Part 2 of your Self-Study is a one to three page self-reflection describing the following:
Your conception
Your prenatal development and your parent’s experience being pregnant with you
Your birth
Any complications your parents or guardians had at the time and how they dealt with those complications
Family traits and heredity
As you complete Part 2,  remember to consider your module readings and include your connections to and citations of course related materials.

Your Action Research Plan: Literature Review is due this session. For this component, you will conduct a thorough review of the existing research on the topic of reflection, focusing on higher education. You will include a summary of the major themes, findings, and methodologies used in the research.
The topic is “Supporting International Students’ Cultural Adaptation and Career Development in the United States: A Case Study of International Education Programs in the Field of Education”
This is the intro 
In the era of globalization and international academic exchanges, an increasing number of students are choosing to pursue their education degrees in the United States, particularly through specialized programs tailored for international students. These programs offer a wealth of academic resources and support services aimed at fostering students’ cultural adaptation and professional development in the American context (Lewthwaite, 1996). This paper seeks to explore how international education programs in the field of education support international students’ cultural adaptation in the United States and analyze their performance in the American job market post-graduation. By focusing on a case study of the International Education Master’s Program (ITGL) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), this study will examine the characteristics of these programs, the support services and resources they provide, and analyze students’ cultural adaptation, psychological well-being, and career planning and development in the United States. This research aims to provide empirical evidence for the improvement and development of international education programs in the field of education, offering support and guidance for international students’ success in the American workplace and society.
Please note that the literature review requires 15 resources, including 10 primary sources.
