ibcandidate Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello. So i wrote my extended essay in German B, the topic is about the effect of Germany’s victory in football cup 2014 on the German society and economy. This is specifiaclly linked to group 2a (sociocultural effects). The guides tell that I need to explore the effect of sociocultural aspects on language, however i am not exploring the language. Another guide, more general, which my supervisor gave me doesn’t tell that i need to investigate language and even brings a similar example to my topic as acceptable. So is this topic okay? I am desperately anxious because I am aftaid that I will fail my extended essay and my diploma due to not exploring the effect on language but on society. The research is otherwise really coherent and profound. Please help. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Who wrote this other guide and what was the very similar RQ? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibcandidate Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I dont know who, it is shorter and it was provided by my teacher. The topic was phrased as the effect of football in german society. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 You can do a Language acquisition category 2b on "cultural artifacts" but it's safer if you include songs/ads/radio transcripts/media/social media responses (eg tweets). For 2a, you definitely needs to talk about the effect of cultural changes on language. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Look, you definitely needs to focus on cultural changes on language in 2a, so 2b is your best bet. Yes sport is not the artifact, but reports and responses about sports are. I mean it should be obvious that an EE about language should talk about language. If you did not talk about language, then you should revise to do so, and include language as a major focus. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
