The ABCs of Proposal Writing & Conducting Academic Research in Applied Linguistics has been designed to meet the needs of students attending graduate and postgraduate programs who do not have enough experience in writing theses, dissertations, papers, and articles. The main incentive behind preparing this book, despite availability of different textbooks on the local and international markets, was compensating for lack of a comprehensive and learner-friendly textbook and helping those thesis/dissertation writers who want to manage the thesis/dissertation writing process effectively.
