WHAT IS AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS?
An undergraduate thesis is an extended piece of research and writing on a single subject. It is typically
completed in the final year of a degree program, and the topic is chosen based on a student’s area of
interest. This thesis is an extended project that allows the student to explore a narrow topic in greater
depth. The completion of the project is ensured by close work between a student and a supervisor. The
close work provides guidance and support throughout the process of research and writing.
As a piece of writing, the undergraduate thesis takes the form of an analytical piece of writing (research)
as opposed to a purely summative/descriptive one. The activity of research involves a planned and
systematic investigation of a particular linguistic phenomenon. It seeks to describe, identify, and control
relationships among phenomena in order to study them.
The students must address the following aspects of their writing:
a. The identification of a research area they are interested in and the formulation of one or more specific
research questions.
b. The familiarity with the most fundamental literature related to the topic and research question(s)
c. The selection and justification of analytical tools
d. The collection and selection of well-defined and justified sets of materials used as the basis of the
analysis. These sets of materials might be empirical quantitative data, the corpus of texts, sets of
course books, sets of news texts, sets of conversation sessions, etc.)
e. The analysis supported by clear and convincing argumentation and presentation of results.
f. The reliable conclusions drawn on the results and provide possible alternative views and
explanations, as well as practical implications.
g. Well-documented sources and references by following the APA 7th edition format guideline
A. UNDERGRADUATE THESIS IN CREATIVE WRITING
Undergraduate thesis in Creative Writing may be of three types: (1) Final Project, (2) empirical thesis –
field study, (3) theoretical thesis – library study, and (4) academic paper – library study. The decision on
which type of thesis and study the students will work on is made by the Department.

C. UNDERGRADUATE THESIS IN TESOL
Undergraduate thesis in TESOL may be of four types: (1) Final Project, (2) empirical thesis – field study,
(3) theoretical thesis – library study, and (4) academic paper – library study. The decision on which type
of thesis and study the students will work on is made by the Department.
1. FINAL PROJECT
A. Curriculum Design or Development
In this type of project, students design or develop a curriculum formed around one or more of the
orientations suggested by Eisner and Vallance (1974). They are:
a) academic rationalism which focuses on disciplinary knowledge and cultural canons;
b) cognitive processes which focus on intellectual reasoning skills;
c) self-actualization or personal relevance which focuses on psychological conditions, individuality, and
personal expressions;
35
d) social reconstruction or critical pedagogy which focuses on sociological conditions, social justice and
collective reform;
e) utilitarian, which focuses on functional competencies, performance, procedure, and instructional
efficiency.
In designing or developing the curriculum, it is required for students to consistently employ necessary
judgments throughout the process of planning, shaping, and constructing the curriculum elements that
focus on the main question: “What should be learned?”
B. Instructional Design
In this type of project, students work on instructional design for English Language Teaching (ELT) at a
specific education level. If curriculum design tends to focus on the content, the instructional design
focuses on the form and process of how the content is organized and executed for teaching and learning.
Hence, an instructional design must consist of a learning system that involves relationships, conditions,
processes, causes, effects, and feedback.
C. Material Design or Development
In this type of project, students design or develop a set of learning materials, aids, and resources to be
used for specific instruction in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). Similar to instructional
design, the material design focuses mainly on the form and process of how content is organized and
delivered for teaching and learning to meet the learning objectives. Therefore, products of material design
must consist of elaborated content in smaller or specific units, procedures, or instructions for using them
and assessments.
The outcomes of the Final Project consist of two documents that must be submitted: a) Final Project
report; and b) Project Outcome (e.g., curriculum documents, instructional documents, or learning
materials, aids, or resources).

significant point of the paper. It follows an ‘inverted pyramid’ structure in which they start broad and
narrow down to a specific thesis or research question. This part also covers the explanation of key terms
as a significant concept or constructs that contribute to the discussion.
II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
A Review of Literature more synthesizes information explicitly from a variety of significant sources related
to the significant point of the paper.
III. DISCUSSION
This section is the center of the paper, where the writer finally makes the primary point or claim the
previous sections have led the reader to expect. This section will usually be the lengthiest section of the
paper and should include a thorough and well-supported argument, critique, or discussion.
IV.CONCLUSION
The conclusion reflects the writer’s understanding of the topic or claim(s). It restates the thesis and shows
what contribution the findings add to the topic under study. It may also describe consequences or general
implications to the field.
D. UNDERGRADUATE THESIS IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS
GUIDELINES ON THE CONTENT AND STRUCTURE
Undergraduate thesis in Applied Linguistics may be of three types: (1) empirical thesis – field study, (2)
theoretical thesis – library study, and (3) academic paper – library study. The decision on which type of
thesis and study the students will work on is made by the Department.
An empirical thesis should investigate a problem and is argumentative. The writer uses empirical data to
support his/her hypotheses. An empirical – field study has two types: qualitative and quantitative.
The possible topics of empirical thesis papers in this field can be the following (but not limited to):
Sociolinguistics (e.g., language and gender)
Pragmatics
Discourse analysis
Communicative competence
Critical Discourse Analysis
Conversational Analysis
Electronic Discourse
Language use and practice on online platforms
any other topic approved of by the Supervisor
An empirical thesis can apply various research tools, preferably a combination of the following:
Questionnaires
Interview
41
Textbook analysis
Observation
Text analysis
Spoken interaction analysis
Verbal reports
Analysis of methods, experiments
Diary
Tests
A theoretical paper usually focuses on an abstract problem. The main aim of the thesis is to show various
issues and/or treatments of the particular problem in the field and provide a synthesis of literature and/or
solution of the problem. The paper starts with a comparison of what different authors say about the same
topic, that is, a survey of the relevant literature arranged into some logical framework invented by the
writer. The overview should be critical and should be followed by an argumentative proposal of the writer’s
own opinion and solution to the problem.
1. The structure of an empirical thesis (Field Study)
The core parts of an empirical thesis written in the interest of Applied Linguistic are organized into five
chapters, namely: (1) Introduction, (2) Review of the Related Literature, (2) Research Methods, (4)
Results and Discussions, and (5) Conclusion and Suggestion (s).

develop the background, to discuss the relevant literature, to give the reader knowledge of the field
(specifically relating to the research question), which the writer is researching.
A literature review should be a comprehensive and well-structured overview, presented based on an
original organizing principle. A good overview is relevant, looks at all the aspects of the given topic,
uses a minimum of 15 primary sources, and presents the topic in a new light.
2.2 Related Previous Studies
The writer discusses and presents a review of previous studies in an objective-rational manner. It
underlies the idea that the writer should present not only supportive research findings theory, but also
those who reject it.
2.3 Concluding Remarks
This part summarizes the importance of theoretical framework, related theories, and related studies to
the current study.
CHAPTER III – RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The Introduction and the Review of the Literature are typically followed by the description of detailed
technical aspects of the study. An excellent method section describes the procedures in such a detailed
way that anyone wishing to replicate the study would be able to do so.
3.1 Research Method and Design
This part describes what research method that best reflects their studies in terms of Quantitative,
Qualitative, or Mixed Methods. Research design is closely related to the research method. For example,
the Case Study is a typical research design in the Qualitative Method.
3.2 Field of the Study
This part is where the writer explicates under which field of study their study may fall into
comprehensively. The topics of the study in Applied Linguistics studies might belong to these fields (but
not limited to): Sociolinguistics (e.g., language and gender, language and social class, etc.), Pragmatics,
Discourse analysis, Conversational Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, Electronic Discourse,
Language use and practice on online platforms, Textbook Analysis, Classroom Discourse, and any other
topics approved of by the Supervisor and the Department.
3.2 Subject or Object of the Study
43
This part is where the writer provides an explicit description of who (the participants/respondents) and
what (sessions of conversation, news texts, chatting sessions, textbooks, etc.) that they select as the
source of their data and focus of their analysis. The writer must explain how and why the subjects or
objects are selected, and the procedures involve in selection.
3.3 Method of Data Collection
The writer is responsible for explaining how they collect the data and what instrument(s) they use to
support the process of collecting the data. The use of the particular method of data collection must be
justified in which the writer provides their considerations in working with particular methods of data
collection. All the data collection materials (e.g., questionnaires, interview protocols, tasks, observation
sheets) need to be exemplified in the appendix.
3.4. Method of Data Analysis
This part describes the procedures used for the quantitative or qualitative analysis of the data. The
relatedness to the Theoretical Framework should be present in which the writer demonstrates how each
analytical framework works in the process of analyzing the data.
CHAPTER IV – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Results and Discussion: The Results section will typically contain the results of the analysis, which will
detail and justify the conclusion. This section is often merged together with the discussion section by
taking into account the original questions/hypotheses and the consequence of the results.
CHAPTER V – CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
Conclusion: This section briefly summarizes the main findings of the analysis, discusses possible
alternative interpretations and views, examines the practical implications (where appropriate), mentions
the limitations of the research, and proposes directions for future investigations. All the conclusions have
to be drawn based on the data and not subjective speculations.
References: In this section, the writer lists all the references that were cited in the texts.
Appendices: The following materials are appropriate for an appendix: scales, tests, questionnaires,
handouts, teaching materials used or designed, raw data, visual aids, less important tables or figures,
practical examples of classroom activities, or other kinds of illustrative materials. The appendix needs to
contain a short sample of the data (e.g., filled in questionnaires, parts of texts produced by the
participants). All appendices have to be translated into English.
2. The structure of a theoretical thesis paper (LIBRARY STUDY)
The core parts of a theoretical thesis written in the interest of Applied Linguistic are organized into five
chapters, namely: (1) Introduction, (2) Review of the Related Literature, (2) Research Method, (4) Results
and Discussions, and (5) Conclusion and Suggestion (s).
Abstract:
The abstract describes the problem, purpose of the study, theoretical background, method of study, and
brief findings. It should be written within 200-250 words.
CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
44
The introduction presents the justification and rationale for the research. It lays out the reasons for the
importance of the problem raised in the research. The explanations are based on the development of
linguistics, both theoretically and practically. The justification must be able to answer the question: Why
the research (with the formulation of the problem proposed) is considered essential to do? This section
also provides the focus of the research and the significance of the research.
1.2 Problem Statement and Research Questions
This part is where the writer clearly state what issue(s) or problem(s) they choose as the focus of the
study. Research question(s) then is/are formulated based on this statement of the problem.
1.3 Objective(s) of the Study
The research objectives are formulated by emphasizing the type of knowledge or understanding of what
will be generated and the research conducted. The formulation is closely related to the Research
Question(s) stated in section 1.2.
1.4 Scope and Limitation of the Study
In this section, the writer describes the scope of the study setting the boundary and frame for their study.
It is followed then by explaining in detail the limitations of the study.
1.5 Significance of the Study
This part informs the benefits of the study.
1.6 Definition of Key Terms
In this section, the writer clearly defines the significant concept or constructs, contributing to the overall
make-up of the study.
1.7 Thesis Organization
This part elaborates on the structure of the thesis briefly.
CHAPTER II – REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Theoretical Framework and Review of the Related Theories: This section comes under a separate
heading (or headings), which specifies the main aspects of the review. The purpose of the review is to
develop the background, to discuss the relevant literature, to give the reader knowledge of the field
(specifically relating to the research question), which the writer is researching.
A literature review should be a comprehensive and well-structured overview, presented based on an
original organizing principle. A good overview is relevant, looks at all the aspects of the given topic, uses
a minimum of 15 primary sources, and presents the topic in a new light.
2.2 Related Previous Studies
The writer discusses and presents a review of previous studies in an objective-rational manner. It
underlies the idea that the writer should present not only supportive research findings theory, but also
those who reject it.
2.3 Concluding Remarks
This part summarizes the importance of theoretical framework, related theories, and related studies to
the current study.
CHAPTER III – RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Method: This part is the core difference between the empirical thesis that is written to report
the process and results of a field study and theoretical thesis that is written to explore the selected issue(s)
45
theoretically as part of library research. The data gathered from the field are absent from this type of
study.
Library research relies mainly on secondary sources that have been studied or discussed by other
researchers. The writer of the theoretical thesis then repackages the results and discussions in order to
answer his/her research question(s).
CHAPTER IV – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Results and Discussion: The Results section will typically contain the results of the analysis, which will
detail and justify the conclusion. This section is often merged together with the discussion section by
taking into account the original questions and the consequence of the results.
CHAPTER V – CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
Conclusion:
Theoretical papers typically end with a restatement of the problem under investigation and a summary of
the proposed solution(s) discussed. In the conclusion section, authors may indicate in what ways the
study contributes to current achievements in the field, refer to the limitations of the paper, and point to
possible areas for further investigation.
References: In this section, the writer lists all the references that were cited in the texts.
3. The Structure of an Academic Paper (Final Paper)
Abstract
The abstract describes the issue, purpose of writing, theoretical background, and points of discussion. It
should be written within 200-250 words.
Introduction
The introduction should reveal some broad knowledge of the overall topic and quickly focus on the
significant point of the paper. It follows an ‘inverted pyramid’ structure in which they start broad and
narrow down to a specific thesis or research question. This part also covers the explanation of key terms
as a significant concept or constructs that contribute to the discussion.
Review of Literature
A Review of Literature more synthesizes information explicitly from a variety of significant sources related
to the significant point of the paper.
Discussion
This section is the center of the paper, where the writer finally makes the primary point or claim the
previous sections have led the reader to expect. This section will usually be the lengthiest section of the
paper and should include a thorough and well-supported argument, critique, or discussion.
Conclusion
The conclusion reflects the writer’s understanding of the topic or claim(s). It restates the thesis and shows
what contribution the findings add to the topic under study. It may also describe consequences or general
implications to the field.
References: In this section, the writer lists all the references that were cited in the texts.
