Description

This required 3-credit course supports students in the development of the Qualifying Paper, a required element in the APLING Ph.D. program. It considers common issues such as finding a researchable question, designing and conducting a literature review, establishing a conceptual framework, and making a timeline for work on the dissertation. Through readings about style, writing, applied linguistics research areas, and presentations for peer and instructor feedback, students create and refine their qualifying paper for departmental review.
