A guide for students

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Doing a Research Project in English Studies is the essential guide to undertaking research and developing academic English literacy skills for students new to research. With a particular focus on the needs of students in contexts where English is used as a foreign or an additional language, this accessible textbook takes the reader through the research process in five main sections:

• Getting started (arriving at a topic, interacting with a supervisor)
• Finding bibliographic resources
• Collecting data
• Developing academic writing skills
• Giving an oral presentation

Each chapter contains exercises; the answer key facilitates independent study throughout. Extracts from published research articles provide invaluable illustration of the features of academic writing. This is a must have resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students embarking on a research project in English studies.
