Opis

The ABCs of Proposal Writing and Conducting Academic Research in Applied Linguistics has been designed to meet the needs of students attending graduate programs (MA & PhD) who do not have enough experience in writing theses, dissertations, papers, and articles. The main incentive behind preparing this book, despite availability of different textbooks on the local and international markets, was to compensate for lack of a comprehensive and learner-friendly textbook and help those thesis/dissertation writers who want to manage the thesis/dissertation writing process effectively. This book provides novice researchers, especially in the field of applied linguistics, with a general picture of conducting academic studies, their contents, and forms then elaborates on details of related issues.This book with its clear diction and thorough information may be used as a textbook for courses like Research Methods, Seminar, and Advanced Writing in graduate programs of applied linguistics.
