Introduction To Research Paper Writing
For a particular issue, writing research reports and papers is to train students to think independently and to judge or assess the learning achievement of the best ways, but generally students regarded as a dangerous road, there are four reasons:
(A) As the students study the nature of writing skills do not quite understand.
(B) Often the lack of good guidance, so that the average student as writing research reports and more forsaken.
(C) Of the students in the study period, most of the rigorous course work, in addition to read the assigned textbook and to pass examinations, but few has time to write an article.
(D)Lack of systematic data collection to teach students to use the library, so that on the museum reference books, periodicals, card catalog, electronic databases and the use of computer retrieval, do not quite understand, cannot effectively from a broad array of information in a systematic collation and analysis of their useful information.
Above four reasons, if this trend continues, then the departure from the purpose of university education is indeed not being underestimated. Therefore, universities should set up “research methods and thesis writing” course. If necessary, the professor can be used to replace the academic research paper test, to train students to effectively use the library, first-hand experience of the dry bitter.
The nature and objectives of the University is “full of passion and rational knowledge and cultivate virtue, to pursue science, ideals, truth and self”. To this end, teachers should train students to think independently, to lead its research academic interest. So, “study” what is it? Applied linguists Hatch and Farhady (1982:1) to “study” is defined by: “Using a systematic approach and steps to find the answer (a systematic approach to finding answers to questions)”. In this definition, there are three important concepts worthy of our attention. First, the so-called “research” with the “problem” (questions) are closely related, because the confusion is the driving force behind the human quest for the problem. If there is no doubt problems occur, you do not need to solve the problem, as soon as suspicious, it should be the spirit of “the inquisitor asked in the end,” the spirit to get to the bottom, informative, so as not to others, and to break through outdated “stereotypes” and innovation. Second, researchers should play such a driving force; we must use a systematic method and procedure (systematic approach). If the use of language is concerned, often consists of four steps:
(A) Observation (observe) the collected corpus;
(B) From the structure of the corpus guess (guess) the linguistic phenomenon;
(C) And bold ideas (formulate) a number of hypothetical laws to explain this phenomenon;
(D) Finally, carefully verify (check), in confirmation of the process, the case of the “anti-case” (counterexample) or “disprove” (counterevidence), it must amend its assumption of the law to meet the actual phenomena of language.
The first two steps are found in the process of (discovery process), then two-step process belongs to verify (verification Process). Third, any problems study, the researchers propose solutions to problems can best answer (answer), whether it is positive, positive or negative, negative.
