Academic posterA poster is a way to summarise research and communicate it in conferences. In a room, dozen (orhundreds) or researcher and students stand in front of their poster and present their research to awalking audience. The poster is used to summarise key points in the literature and in the study, andto represent data in a visual manner.This assignment is individual. You can discuss with your partner your understanding of the paper andwhat to include in the poster, but the poster itself is an individual submission. You cannot write thesame content otherwise it will be plagiarism. Likewise, do not quote or reproduce sentences from thepaper: posters have to be very concise and fully formed sentences are rare.The poster will present the research paper that you have chosen. Evidently, you cannot list all theliterature and sometimes there are too many pre-tests or experiments in the paper. Choose to includewhat is essential for our understanding (of the literature and the objective of the paper) and in aquantity that is manageable (you can present only one out of three studies).I will show you posters (and we’ll see together what makes a good or less good poster) in Week 20.This way you will have a good idea about what you should be striving for. The Linguistic Society ofAmerica offers guidelines on poster development, text and design:http://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/lsa-poster-guidelines.your module mark.Marking criteria for the poster:KNOWLEDGE: You accurately explain theories, key terms, methods, and data. Your explanations rely onexplaining, not simply telling. Key results are presented graphically (figure, graph, table), e.g. usingExcel.CRITICAL THINKING: Theories, findings and issues from past research which are critical for the motivationof the study and its interpretation are provided as appropriate contextualization (and appropriatelycited—see external sources), and elements which do not clearly move the argument or researchforward are excluded.EXTERNAL SOURCES: Any definitions, theories etc. introduced in the presentation/poster, areparaphrased (no direct quotes) and appropriately referenced following APA style. Each publicationmentioned in your presentation/poster text is included in the reference list and any publicationmentioned in the reference list is mentioned in the text. All in text and bibliographic references areformatted following APA style.COVERAGE & BALANCE: The amount of text on the poster is appropriate in quantity, quality andproportional distribution of text across sections: text is not overwhelming in quantity yet researcharticle is fully and succinctly summarised. Choice of fonts, colours, text size, and other graphics arevisually appealing, effective and not distracting.EXPRESSION &ORGANIZATION: Writing/speech style and title are clear, succinct, engaging and appropriatefor an academic poster. Graphics are clearly labelled, main findings are also textually provided, andgraphics are easy for a viewer to interpret. The poster is structurally organized and includes expectedsections drawing from the original paper (e.g. title, authors, introduction, research question,hypothesis, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references).The paper that you have to make a poster on is the file that I have attached and you have to write a summary of this on an A4 Poster on PowerPoint
