After reviewing several sample thesis introductions, I found that the introduction of the topic “The impact of Cake app on enhancing TOEIC speaking competence for EFL learners at a private English center in Ho Chi Minh City” is the most effective and well-written among those I have read, for the following reasons:
-
What makes this introduction effective?
What makes this introduction effective is its logical structure and clarity. It begins with a broad background on the growing role of English in global communication, then gradually narrows down to challenges in developing speaking skills among EFL learners, which creates a clear research context.
-
How are the background, problem statement, research questions, and significance presented?
The background is developed through a gradual narrowing of context. The problem statement is embedded within the background and framed in a practice-oriented manner. The research questions are clearly stated, directly derived from the identified problem, and balance measurable outcomes with learners’ perceptions. The significance is presented at multiple levels, including learners, teachers, and researchers, highlighting the study’s applied and educational value.
-
What will you borrow or adapt from this introduction for your own thesis?
I will adopt the context-to-focus structuring strategy to clarify the study’s purpose. Additionally, I will apply the multi-level presentation of significance to emphasize the relevance of my research to different stakeholders.
