This invaluable guide introduces first-time thesis writers to the process of writing up empirical research. To help students understand what content and structure are appropriate for the different parts of a thesis, John Bitchener presents a range of options, richly illustrated with analyses of and commentary on sections from a real Masters thesis in Applied Linguistics. Chapters contain answers to commonly asked questions and ample opportunity for students to develop their skills through interactive exercises.

This step-by-step handbook can be used as a core text in seminars and workshops or as a reference point for independent learners.

Industry Reviews

'This clearly written, accessible book, packed with practical and widely field-tested material, will be a tremendous resource to graduate students and their supervisors, and even to newer postdoctoral scholars hoping to polish their work for publication. I am looking forward to using it with my own students and highly recommend it to others' - Dana Ferris, University of California, Davis 'One of the key features of this book is that it has a specific target audience and subject area. This enables the author to explore at greater depth issues related to academic writing which are significant and relevant to postgraduate writers. The book is written in an accessible style and will prove to be an indispensable guide to successful writing in higher education' - Suganthi John, University of Birmingham
