Learning outcomes
Code Description
LO1 Critically analyse the provisions of the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), New
Engineering Contract (NEC) and International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) forms of contract for construction.
LO2 Critically analyse the roles of the parties and contract administrators within construction contracts.
LO3 Critically evaluate a range of different contract events using the procedures in the standard forms of contract to identify practical, reasoned solutions and understand the impact on the client organisation.
LO4 Critically evaluate the principles of accountancy concepts and business planning models and their impact on the project.
Scenario
You work for a company that specialises in construction project management. Following a feasibility study for a new port, the government client has decided to follow a competitive dialogue process for the procurement of the different packages of work. Your company has been invited to come to a two-day presentation and meeting, together with other prospective contractors and consultants, at which the overall scheme will be explained and where you will be expected to contribute ideas and demonstrate your team’s ability to work cooperatively with others.
The main work packages of the scheme are:
• A new breakwater with rip rap protection.
• Two new harbour walls with berthing points for ships.
• Plant for offloading and stacking containers.
• Access roads for and rail head.
• Office buildings and facilities for port staff.
The client has carried out a preliminary risk workshop and identified the following risks:
• Marine weather conditions including storms and high tides.
• Uncertain ground conditions for the harbour wall and office building
• Possible supply chain shortages – the aim of the client is to supply as much of the scheme as possible from in country resources.
Additionally, because this is government money, the government department that acts as the client must make monthly reports to the treasury department regarding the cumulative spending on the scheme against the predicted spending, the spending needs over the following three months and
the likely final outturn costs of the scheme. The client has indicated that they would like prequalification companies to describe the financial reporting systems that they would use, should they be a contractor on the scheme.

Task
Your managing director has asked you to prepare a report in advance of the pre-qualification process so that your team is prepared to participate in discussions, at the two-day workshop, about:
• the most suitable forms of contract for the packages, and why these forms can best deal with the anticipated and unexpected risks in the scheme.
• how the client can successfully administer the scheme through the contract personnel,
including an organisational chart for the scheme (make reasonable and supported assumptions about the sequencing of the work).
• how the contracts can provide reliable financial information for the client’s business planning, and in what form this information should be.
An executive summary is required.
Additional guidance
Competitive dialogue procedure is a method of pre-qualification and early contractor involvement, where short listed candidates are invited to discuss the nature of the project before tenders are invited. It is a recognized procedure under the EU public and utility procurement rules.
Reference list and bibliography
You should include a reference list with a minimum of eight separate relevant and appropriate sources that you have written about and cited within your work.
A bibliography of uncited sources is not required.

Explore a language teaching/learning topic of your interest by providing a critical comparison of two recent studies on an aspect of language teaching/learning and a broader discussion of the issue investigated.

The aim of the assignment for this module is to enable you to explore a language teaching/learning topic of your interest by providing a critical comparison of two recent studies on an aspect of language teaching/learning and a broader discussion of the issue investigated.

Select two empirical studies on the same topic. The topic needs to be related to the general focus of the module. The studies must have been published in international peer-reviewed journals (see the list of recommended journals in the module reading list) in the last 5 years. They may differ in their approach to the topic in terms of the theoretical approaches, analytical frameworks or research methodologies, or they may use similar approaches but focus on different contexts or languages.

Your assignment should include the following:

• An introduction to the topic the two studies deal with, which needs to be situated in a broader context of the literature on language teaching/learning. For instance, you may want to consider questions such as whether the topic is novel or well-established in the literature, why it is important for language teaching/learning, and/or what motivates you to focus on this topics.
• A critical comparison and contrast of the two studies, addressing issues such as the similarities/differences in the aims, specific foci, research questions, understanding of main concepts, theoretical approaches, research methods, participants, contexts, findings, implications for pedagogy, the richness and depth of insight into the topic, and/or any other important features of the studies. It is not necessary to address all of these issues; select those relevant to the comparison and contrast of your chosen studies. It is better to elaborate on a small number of comparison/contrast points than to list a large number but not provide much discussion.
• A synthesis of the findings and consideration of questions such as what the studies reveal about the topic (and what they do not, if relevant), in what ways they contribute to furthering our knowledge on the topic, and what remains to be explored in future research on the topic, leading to an extended commentary on the topic and its importance and interest for language teaching/learning.

Possible ways of structuring
your assignment

• Introduction
• Comparison and contrast
– Theme 1
– Theme 2
– Theme 3
• Conclusion

OR

• Introduction
• Comparison and contrast
– Similarities
– Differences

• Conclusion

• What NOT to do:
– Introduction
– Detailed summary of Study 1
– Detailed summary of Study 2
– A brief section on comparison and contrast
– Conclusion
• This structure typically leads to summaries becoming the main part of the paper; in addition, they tend to be presented as two completely separate sections

COMMON PROBLEMS
• There is too much summary and not much comparison and contrast of the studies
• The paper provides a long list of similarities and differences between the studies but doesn’t provide an in-depth critical elaboration on them
• The paper focuses on one study in great detail and only marginally on the other

References should NOT only include the two studies and references provided by the tutor but should demonstrate more extensive research. You may also refer to your language teaching/learning experience when assessing the significance of the topic/issues to language teaching.

Word length: 3,500 and 4,000 words. Please write the word count after the list of references. The list of references is not included in the word count.
