Dissertation Writing in Practice: Turning Ideas into Text

Synopsis:“Writing a dissertation is hard work for native speakers. It is doubly difficult for those who have to complete the task in a language other than their own. How does one set about such a task? This question is admirably answered by this superb book derived from the authors’ practical experience in teaching courses on dissertation writing to second language speakers.” —David Nunan, Chair Professor of Applied Linguistics, The University of Hong Kong
