After reading two sample thesis introductions, i found the thesis "THE EFFECTS OF MOODLE ACTIVITIES ON STUDENTS’ WRITING PERFORMANCE AT TIEN GIANG UNIVERSITY" by Vo Thi Minh Due is particularly clear and well - structured.
This introduction is effective because it is clearly structured, logical, and aligned with academic research conventions. Each subsection serves a specific purpose, guiding the reader smoothly from a general discussion of writing skills to the specific research context at Tien Giang University. The background establishes the importance of writing skills and highlights the influence of information technology and Moodle, which helps justify the study. Relevant citations are included, making the argument more credible and grounded in previous research.
The problem statement is presented implicitly in the rationale, where gaps in current teaching practices and the lack of Moodle-based research at the university are clearly identified. The research questions are concise, focused, and directly related to both students’ performance and perceptions, ensuring the study is well-targeted. The significance section clearly explains who will benefit from the study (teachers, students, and the institution) and why the findings matter in the Vietnamese EFL context.
For my own thesis, I would borrow the clear sectional organization and the way the local context is connected to broader educational trends. I would also adapt the explicit link between the research problem, questions, and practical significance to strengthen the coherence of my introduction.
