WELCOME TO LPRA 324!

We look forward to working with you this semester.

In this module, you will be introduced to some of the research components which can be used in Language Practice Research. These components will provide you with the tools and skills you will need to identify potential research problem and to provide a fully fleshed research proposal at the end of the semester

Before we kick off this module, it is important that we just get some of the practical issues out of the way. The first is that LPRA111, LPRA122, LPRA211, LPRA222, LPRA311, and LPRA312 are prerequisites for LPRA 324. This means that if you have not passed both these modules, you cannot be registered for LPRA 324.

The second is that classes for LPRA324 will be conducted physically. You are encouraged, to go through the time table and note down the venue for your class. To access the time table, please go to the Student Academic Lifecycle Administration pages, then select the tab on Time tables and Assessment, then you click on the class timetable, lastly you click on the timetable of your own campus.  You are therefore requested to make use of the time table and note that punctuality is important. 

You are expected to punctual for your classes, therefore the classes for this module are scheduled for Mondays 14h30-15h45, you will be further guided about Thursday classes. 

Should you have any questions about what is expected of you (or even if you have any remaining questions from the previous week), you will be able to ask them during consultation session. During this contact session, you can ask your lecturer any questions you may have.

MC and PC students are sharing a single eFundi site for LPRA324. The lecturers from each campus (Makoetja and Ntshwaki) will be taking responsibility for different study units. However, you can always ask any one of us for help or information :)

To help you familiarise yourself with how things will work in this module, we have created a syllabus page.  Please go through the syllabus page during our first week of class. We will commence with Study unit 1 as from the 17th of July 2023.

We are excited to go on this academic journey with you and hope that you will find the module both challenging and enriching!

Kind regards,
Makoetja and Ntshwaki
