After reading carefully, I decided to choose the thesis with topic “THE IMPACT OF THE CAKE APP ON 7TH GRADERS’ VOCABULARY LEARNING AT THUAN QUY SECONDARY SCHOOL”. The introduction has a clear structured which are devided into seven small parts (Background to the study, Statement of the problem, Research objectives, Research questions, Significance and rationale of the study, Definition of key terms, Chapter summary).

The background of this research paper has been written in a way that gradually narrows the scope, from observations and discussions of technological advancements in English language learning in general to a specific tool, the Cake app, on enhancing vocabulary ranges for learners.

In this study, the author used the phrase “Research objectives” instead of “problem statement”; the author pointed out her aim to identify strengths and weaknesses of Cake app in expanding vocabulary for 7th Grade students which were supported by previous studies .

The research questions was designed to explore mentioned problems, and directly aligned with the objectives, ensuring coherence throughout the chapter.

The significance section clearly explains both theoretical and practical contributions, making the study relevant to educators, researchers, and policymakers.

The author explained clearly both theoretical and practical contributions in the significance section.

For my own paper, I would borrow the clear structure of this study for every section, especially the introduction. I would write my introduction from general context to specific focus at a particular site.

Hi Gia Han,

It seems like the topic was impressive to both of us.

I personally see that your analysis shows a strong understanding of how a thesis introduction should function. I am on the same side with you that the Thesis brought up the clear structure with many essential components you have correctly identified. It is the standard academic requirement for researching, I believe.
I see you mentioned that the author had used "Research Objectives" as a replacement section for the Problem Statement. Have you considered the "Statement of the Problem" part in the Thesis?

I can't agree more with you that we could learn from the Thesis's structure, as it was the most impressive part to me.

I agree that the introduction follows the required structure well, with each section clearly defined. But to strengthen it further, I suggest making the content more specific by grounding it in Vietnam’s teaching and learning context. Additionally, there are some overlaps between the Statement of the Problem and the Research Objectives. Moving the specific aims to the Objectives section would improve clarity. While this is a strong draft for reference, addressing these structural overlaps will make it much more cohesive.

Hi Han,
I think your analysis shows that you paid close attention to the structure of the introduction, and I like how you pointed out that it’s divided into seven small parts. That’s definitely true and one of the strengths of this thesis introduction as it makes the introduction easy to follow.

One small correction though: The thesis introduction actually has both a Statement of the Problem and Research Objectives as separate sections, so it’s not that "Research objectives" replaced the "Problem statement". Peace :D

I agree that the introduction of this research has a clear structure and each section are clearly defined.
I personally find it useful for me when it comes to my own paper. I can follow and learn how to organize the structure of the thesis
