Move 1: Establishing a territory

Step 1: Claiming Centrality
(In this part, you will discuss the background of the study. Use the font type- Calibri (body) with 12 as
font size. Line spacing is 1.5 and Remove Space after paragraph. Discuss the background of the study in three
to five paragraphs with five sentences each. You may use researchgate and google scholar and getting your
sources.
The background must clearly show that the issue or problem leads to the necessity of conducting a
study about the topic. You may opt to answer the following questions so you may be guided)

1. Why is it necessary to conduct a study about the topic?

2. What problem influences the need to conduct a study about the topic?
3. What is the context or the background of the topic?

Step 2: Making Topic Generalizations

(In this part, you will discuss the Significance of the study. You will give emphasis on the importance of
the study. Discuss the importance of the study in two to three paragraphs, each with five sentences.

You may opt to answer the following question. This will serve as a guide as you construct your
thoughts.
1. What are the reasons why the researchers conducted the study?
2. Why is there a need for it to be studied?
3. What could be the possible dontribution of this research to the society/ mankind as a whole?
4. What problem this research sought to answer? )

Step 3: Reviewing Previous Items of Research

(In this part, the researchers will provide the review of related literatures. The task is to find Three Local
Literature, Five Local Study, Five Foreign Study and Three Foreign Literature. The researchers must note that
all rrl that they will gather is related on the study that they will pursue. No copying and pasting of rrl but
read and paraphrase instead. The researchers may use the Integral or non-integral citation. There is no
particular order of the presentation of RRL ( like for example, all foreign literature must go together in one
paragraph? Ofcourse not. You are free to discuss them as long as you provided 10foreign and local study/
6foreign and local literature. How many paragraphs are needed? It depends on you, as long as you are able to
cover all the rrl presented. Ideally, I suggest that you give one paragraph for each RRL discussed)
