IMPROVEMENTS OF GRAMMATICAL ACCURACY IN WRITING

20 MINUTES TO PRESENT

+Intro

Background to study

Definition

Unsolved Questions (3 unsolved questions + references)

Research Question

1.

2.

3.

Hypothesis (Experimental Study)

+LR

Definition of terms

Division of feedbacks (Number of types) (mention of references)

Gaps persisting (Limitations) (3 mentioned limitations)

State why the current study is conducted (to fill in the gaps)

+Method

Setting

Participants: Mention the drop-out rate

Design (Quasi-Exp) (Pre + Post test)

2 Groups ( Experiment + Comparison groups)

posttest is delayed

Treatment"

Identify the items that will be treated

Instrument: Quantitative data tests (state exactly the types of test implemented in the study -
Qualitative data: Interviews

Procedure:

Data analysis: SPSS for Quantitative data - Qualitative data : thematic analysis

+Results: Mann Whitney U test used to examine the difference between the experimental and the
comparison groups (writing performance)

"There was not a long-lasting effect in terms of A compared to B"

"Comparison between pre-test and delayed posttest -> confirm long-term effect

In adapting mixed methods (Quanti + Quali), research should present and group the results according to
the terms "Quanli" and "Quanti" as well. Avoid mixing them up

+Conclusion:

in measuring effects, research can split them into "long-term" effects and "short-term" effects

Pedagogical Implication -> ?

Limitations (for study) -> Small number ( reduced representativeness and generalisability) + quasi-exp
(not feasible random selection) + short time period for treatment

COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL

} Background to the study is of lower hierachy compared to the LR, in writing the length of these 2
sections, the former should be shorter than the latter

} The terms used between each section and chapter should be specific and consistent

} In writing the LR, LR of keywords in the title should be of major focus (more LR needed for keywords in
the title) -> can separate this one in smaller part.

} Your topic, your title should be the major focus of your LR and of your study -> Be consistent
throughout all the study

} Normally, you do not need to include the CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK in experimental study

} Categorize the collected dat according to thematic style

} In writing the Methodology chapter, researcher should be consistent between what terms and items
put in the previous chapters and this chapter.

} In conducting the interview in L1 (your research is conducted in L2) -> Pay attention to the Reliability of
your interview design
} In Methodology chapter, Results from tests should be in the 4th Chapter (Findings & Results)

} In measuring the scoring gains from participants, state clearly which procedure you use to ensure the
Reliability -> There should be 2 independents scores -> test for correlational relationship -> present
them based on the scoring rubrics
