文档简介
1、1 Introduction The importance of conclusion section of research paper is often undervalued by research paper writers In fact conclusion section just weighs as much as the introduction section in the eyes of of the people who would like to read your research paper. Research paper readers are more lik
2、ely to choose more important parts, such as abstract, introduction and conclusion to read to get the important information o f a research paper. Like the Abstract, the Conclusion also refers to the research. The former looks forward (prospective), whereas the latter looks backward (retrospective). T
3、he obvious function of a Conclusion is to bring the paper to an end. Research papers may differ in format for the middle sections but almost all have a Conclusion 2 The content of Conclusion The Conclusion contains in summary form what has already been presented in the paper. Reference is made to di
4、fferent sections of the paper and the relationship beeen one part and another. Some conclusions may mention the deficiencies of the present research but most look into the future and discuss briefly the significance of their research for others in the field. The following Conclusion (Swan, 1999:270)
5、 is a good example.Exl. It would be quite wrong for me to imply here that a surefire solution has been found to the widespread and intractable problem of providing a crash course in report writing for postgraduate students possessed of a very wide range of English skills at intake. What does seem cl
6、ear, however, is that focusing on text at the phrase level, and in particular the phrase structure X of Y provides a useful starting point, acceptable and helpful to students at all but the very lowest levels. It will be of interest to establish in future whether command and use of this structure co
7、rrelates with relatively higher marks both in Geology examination answers and in the end-of-prograin research report. The above conclusion is a short paragraph referring to some deficiency in a proposal made in the paper for teaching report writing to postgraduate students followed by an assertion t
8、hat the suggested methodology provides a usefid starting point9. It then looks into the future for possible further research in the same area.The structure of Conclusion Unlike the Abstract, the elements of structure in the Conclusion may vary widely especially if the conclusions and implications of
9、 the research are put in the same section. On the whole, we can say that there are three elements of structure, i.e. (1) referring back to the paper sections in a siunniary statement, (2) discussing some of the implications of the research in the wider context of investigation, and (3) looking intot
10、he future for possible developments The following (Glew, 2001:46) is another example in which the author first refers back to the paper in a summary statement. Then an evaluative statement is made about ELICOS providers i.e. amake a valuable contributionFinally the conclusion looks into the future f
11、or further research in the area 2. This paper presents a call for schools in the independent education sector to assess the provision of ELICOS for international FLOTE students who intend to pursue secondary school and further education study in Australia Given the resources and experience of indepe
12、ndent schools in education I believe that as ELICOS providers they have a potential to make a valuable contribution to English language education for international students. It is my hope that further investigations of ELICOS for secondary school and further education studies will contribute to the
13、needed dissemination of research oil delivering English language courses in Australian school courses The language of Conclusion Based on the three stages mentioned above, the language should summarize, evaluate, and project research possibilities in the future The following verb phrases come from a

17、f the Conclusion matches the above functions with verb forms that are mainly in the present tense.In some cases, however, past tense is also used.Conclusion should better refer back and relate back to the beginning in some way so that the beginning and the end keep consistent and the whole paper loo
18、ks more unifled and integrated.The Conclusion section of a research paper plays an important role in bringing the investigation to an endConclusions differ in their length but they should all summarize the research and highlight the significance of the findings.Most conclusions have a three-part structure that includes a summary of the research (emphasis on the sthengthful points or findings), some evaluative statements about the significance of the investigation(deficiency by co
