I. Introduction
As the opening part of the thesis, the introduction occupies a pivotal position and role in the whole thesis. However, due to a number of factors, such as misunderstanding, insufficient writing skills, etc., many researchers appear to be incompetent or even misunderstand when dealing with the introduction. Based on this, this paper aims to introduce a set of relatively simple and effective method of writing introduction, hoping to provide reference for the people concerned.
Key Terms
Just like any other discipline, academic research has its own unique vocabulary and concepts. The correct use of these terms can avoid misunderstanding by readers and increase the effectiveness of communication. It is especially necessary to make a special effort to elaborate and give strict definitions of relevant terms in the introduction. Although the terms used in some studies may be obscure and difficult to understand for the average reader, describing them using accurate language can greatly reduce the occurrence of reader confusion.
III. Research Context
A thorough understanding of the research context is fundamental to understanding graduate level courses. The research context depicts the origins of the research question and its development, showing the reader the history of how the research project came to be and the significance of the research. The introduction does not simply provide a background, but also details the contextual status of the research project, the research objectives, and the significance of the research. This enables the reader to understand the core concepts of the research in depth in the following reading.
Fourth, literature review
Literature review refers to the existing research results to be systematically assessed and analysed and summarize the process. The literature review should not only be presented at the end of the thesis, but can also be preset in the introduction for those projects with small length or financial constraints, such as undergraduate theses. In addition, the contributions of prehistoric research results should be appropriately evaluated, and their problems should also be elaborated, thus effectively avoiding duplication of research and further strengthening the innovation of research.
V. Objectives of the study
The statement of research objectives is usually the key point to attract the attention of readers. So don’t forget to clearly and objectively state the research question you want to answer in the introduction. This direct and transparent statement will also help the reader to understand the overall thrust of the paper more easily.
VI. Research Methodology and Methods
The introduction also needs to discuss the ways and means of the research in order to give the reader an overview of the research steps. The specific methods and approaches used, such as experimental design, data processing methods, etc., need to be clearly spelled out. These detailed discussions will enable the reader to have a deeper understanding of the project research.
Limitations
Finally, the limitations of the findings and possible future directions of the study need to be clearly mentioned in the introduction. This will help the reader to build a more complete body of knowledge as well as to ensure the fluency of the research.
VIII. Conclusion
By following the above strategies in all areas, we can write excellent introductions quickly and efficiently. Improving the writing of introductions cannot be achieved without sound strategies and clear logical thinking. Mastering the appropriate wording and expression form, together with sincere thinking, I believe everyone can write a deep and broad introduction.
