I find the introduction of Nguyen Huong Thuy’s thesis (THE IMPACT OF THE CAKE APP ON 7TH GRADERS’ VOCABULARY LEARNING AT THUAN QUY SECONDARY SCHOOL) effective because it combines theoretical grounding with practical relevance. It begins by situating vocabulary as central to communication: “communication possibilities are greatly limited without grammar, and without vocabulary, effective communication becomes unattainable” (p.1). This emphasis immediately justifies the study’s focus.

The background, problem statement, research questions, and significance are presented in a coherent progression, moving from broad context to specific gaps, then to concise questions and a clear rationale. The background reviews prior studies on technology-assisted vocabulary learning, such as Nguyen (2022) and Shortt et al. (2023), positioning the Cake app within scholarly discourse (pp.1–2). The problem statement highlights gaps in efficacy, engagement, retention, and integration: “the impact of the Cake app on vocabulary learning among 7th graders still needs to be explored” (p.2). Research questions are direct: “To what extent does the Cake app impact vocabulary learning…? What are the students’ opinions and attitudes…?” (p.4). The significance stresses both pedagogical and practical contributions, noting potential for “educational enhancement” and “alignment with modern education trends” (pp.5–6).

For my own thesis, I will adopt this logical structure, the clarity of research questions, and the way significance is tied to both theory and practice.
