2、 in an Abstract 5 The language of an Abstract 6 Summary,1 Introduction,An essay may be based on what is termed as common knowledge or the personal experiences of a student, but a research paper should draw upon a number of other primary and secondary sources of information to complete the project. Writing a research paper is a complex and demanding task. It requires a lot of planning and preparation before the final copy is produced. A research paper can be written on any topic/subject under the

3、 sun. The level of required research for a paper depends on many factors.,Because of its importance in academic writing, a research paper has a special form/format that has to be followed if one is to get a good grade from the instructor marking the paper or have the paper published/accepted. Each section and sub-section should be clearly marked. This is done by using different names/labels for the sections and sub-sections of the paper.,For example, the paper has a Method section that is furthe

4、r sub-divided into Data Collection and Methodology. Experts on the subject have proposed slightly different formats for the paper but a general format may consist of Abstract, Introduction, Background, Previous Studies, Method, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and References.,2 Structure of an Abstract,An Abstract of a research paper is the first source of information for a would-be reader. Of course the title of the research paper would provide information about the topic of investigation but

5、it is the Abstract that provides a birds eye view of the subject matter, the purpose of the study, the way the research is carried out, some important findings, the implications, and a conclusion. The Abstract summarizes the study for people who would like to spend no more than a few minutes on the paper.,An important issue here is the time for the writing of the Abstract. Usually it is written after the study/research is completed but this is not always the case as, for example, people send abs

6、tracts of unfinished papers to conferences they would like to participate in. Such abstracts are not totally different from those written for finished papers; they may include less information in some parts like in the Results and Implications sections.,Because of its importance, the Abstract has acquired a very rigid structure used by most writers. In order to find out what this structure is, we look at an Abstract of a research paper from the Journal of Asian Pacific Communication and then ask

7、 a number of questions. Here is the title of the paper and the Abstract; the questions follow. (Numbers have been added to the sentences for ease of reference.),George Braine, From a teacher-centred to a student-centred approach: A study of peer feedback in Hong Kong writing classes, Journal of Asian Pacific Communication 12/2, 2003.,(1) There is a common belief that, owing to the highly teacher-centred form of education, Chinese students are passive learners. (2) As a result, a student-centred

8、approach such as process writing is believed to be difficult to implement in classes that consist mainly of Chinese students. (3) This study tested these beliefs by introducing peer feedback, the backbone of process writing, to Chinese students enrolled in university writing classes and by measuring the effectiveness of the feedback both quantitatively and qualitatively. (4) The study showed that, with proper training, Chinese students could quickly adapt to a student-centred approach, and also

9、provide rich and useful feedback on the writing of their peers. (5) This study has promising implications for educational contexts where students are considered passive learners, teacher-centred learning is the norm, or the process approach to writing faces daunting challenges to its implementation.,(1) There is a common belief that, owing to the highly teacher-centred form of education, Chinese students are passive learners.
