Order Description
Step 1: Take your existin" rel="nofollow">ing research topic and develop its form and content in" rel="nofollow">into a rationale. While you are in" rel="nofollow">in the early stages of research and not familiar with the literature in" rel="nofollow">in your topic, do your best to formulate rationales that are not simply statin" rel="nofollow">ing your personal or professional in" rel="nofollow">interests but expand on how they relate to the larger field of applied lin" rel="nofollow">inguistics research. This may mean doin" rel="nofollow">ing a prelimin" rel="nofollow">inary and rough search of literature via the library or re-visitin" rel="nofollow">ing previous texts you have read on the topic.
Aim to write approximately a one-page double spaced entry that begin" rel="nofollow">ins to articulate why your topic matters and its relevance for educational research. Spend considerable time developin" rel="nofollow">ing this as it will become the basis for your draft dissertation proposal. Some guidin" rel="nofollow">ing questions to help you draft a prelimin" rel="nofollow">inary rationale are:
1. Why is this project worth doin" rel="nofollow">ing?
2. What will be learnt from it?
3. Is this worth knowin" rel="nofollow">ing?
4. Who will it help?
5. Why should anyone be in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in this research?
6. How will this project in" rel="nofollow">inform thin" rel="nofollow">inkin" rel="nofollow">ing or practice in" rel="nofollow">in the field?
Step 2: Post your draft on the forum for your peers to read and comment on.
Step 3: Respond to at least two posts by your peers. Commentin" rel="nofollow">ing on any connections between your rationale and theirs, suggest additional reasons why a study might be important, contribute anythin" rel="nofollow">ing relevant from your own context, etc. Try to ensure that each member of your community receives at least one response, so respond to a post that hasn't had feedback yet.
