I need two separate, tightly argued essays of roughly 750 words each (give or take 10%) delivered in clean APA 7 format. Deadline 18 September.
Essay 1
Compare and contrast the empirical evidence on how multicultural environments influence language development in children under five. I expect a balanced critical discussion that weighs differing findings, identifies methodological strengths or gaps, and finishes with a succinct conclusion on what the current research actually tells us.
Essay 2
Maria Montessori claimed that “childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult’s life.” Use contemporary evidence on early relationships and their effects on adult behaviour to test this assertion. Draw out where the literature supports, refines, or challenges Montessori’s view and close with a clear position of your own.
Important:
When answering essays, ensure to carefully read the question and identifying the key verbs (instruction words) and terms to clarify what is required. Your answer should contain a brief introductory paragraph, a main body and a brief conclusion. Use in-text citations to support your claims and include a reference list. A minimum of 5 academic sources is expected for each essay.
Word count
The word count for each essay is 750 words (+/-10%). In-text tables, graphs and diagrams, and the reference list are not included in the word count.
Format
Your work must be submitted as a Microsoft 365 document formatted to APA7 style. This can include Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Your work should be at least 1.5 spaced, with double spaced lines being the norm for submissions.
You must use a visually accessible font such as Calibri, Arial or Aptos, and this should be font size 12.
Referencing
You should use APA7 referencing for all academic work.
Research & Sources
Work primarily with peer-reviewed academic journals and authoritative books by recognised scholars; steer clear of popular blogs or generalist websites. Feel free to introduce relevant developmental or sociolinguistic frameworks—only where they strengthen the critique—while keeping the focus on evidence rather than exposition.
Deliverables
• Essay 1 (≈750 words) with in-text citations and reference list in APA 7.
• Essay 2 (≈750 words) with in-text citations and reference list in APA 7.
Please return both pieces in an editable Word or Google Doc so I can run a quick Turnitin check and add any final comments before submission.
