Rezensionen

"This is a comprehensive and accessible book which gives practical guidance to students new to the research process and which clearly draws on the author's experience of supervising masters' dissertations. It assumes little knowledge, provides engaging examples and anecdotes to make ideas concrete and meaningful, and takes students through the entire process from critical groundwork to the publishing of articles based on their dissertations. It promises to be an extremely useful resource."

Neil Murray, University of Warwick, UK

"Lindy Woodrow's extensive experience of research supervision and teaching academic writing ensures that Doing a Master's Dissertation in TESOL and Applied Linguistics is the ideal, step-by-step guide for students who are planning, researching and writing their dissertation. Relevant extracts from recent TESOL and applied linguistics masters' dissertations in the UK, Australia and USA enrich the wealth of advice provided."

Sue Starfield, University of New South Wales, Australia

"[...] A comprehensive and practical guidebook [...] this book would have made my dissertation writing more manageable, its goals more visible, and its difficulties more able to be prepared for."
