the effectiveness of a new language-learning app requires an experimental study design.
Experimental studies involve the manipulation of variables and the comparison of a treatment group
(in this case, learners using the new app) with a control group (learners using an alternative or no
app). This design establishes a cause-and-effect relationship between the use of the app and
language learning outcomes.

29. B-   Present a concise background of the research topic and its significance.- When writing the
introduction to language education research, an effective strategy is to present a concise background
of the research topic and its significance. The introduction serves to set the context for the study,
establish the research problem, and highlight the relevance of the research topic. It should provide
enough information for the reader to understand the purpose and importance of the study without
overwhelming them with excessive details.
30. B- Critically analyze and synthesize existing literature to identify key themes and research gaps.- 
When writing the related literature section in language education research, effective practice is to
critically analyze and synthesize existing literature to identify key themes and research gaps. This
involves going beyond simply listing and summarizing each source found on the topic. By critically
analyzing the literature, researchers can evaluate the strengths and limitations of previous studies,
identify common themes or patterns, and highlight any gaps or unresolved issues in the existing
knowledge. This process of synthesis allows researchers to demonstrate a comprehensive
understanding of the topic and establish the need for their own study. It also helps contextualize the
research within the broader academic discourse and build upon the existing body of knowledge. By
analyzing and synthesizing the related literature, researchers can identify research gaps and
formulate research questions that address these gaps.
