Literature Review - How to write effectively.pptxnguyenlekhanhx02
The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review. It defines a literature review as analyzing and synthesizing existing works to place the current study in context, avoid duplication, and identify gaps. An effective literature review compares and contrasts authors' views, groups similar conclusions, and critically evaluates methodologies. It should highlight exemplary studies, identify patterns, and show how the current study relates to prior work. When searching literature, one should use a variety of sources and evaluate their credibility. The conclusion should draw key points and discuss the need for further research.
The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review. It discusses the purpose of a literature review in demonstrating familiarity with a research field and contextualizing one's own research. It also covers developing a theoretical/contextual framework, critically analyzing sources, and structuring a literature review. Key aspects include justifying arguments, making comparisons, and demonstrating knowledge of a field through references. When reviewing sources, it is important to consider reliability, contradictions with other evidence, and identifying subjective language.
Emergence of Criticality in Effective MA Students’ Research Papers: Appraisal...Lok Ming Eric Cheung
This document discusses attitudinal patterning in effective MA research papers and the pedagogical implications. It analyzes a corpus of student papers to identify patterns in the use of attitude across different sections. Effective papers were found to have higher density of appreciation and distribute attitude strategically. Less effective papers lacked control of attitude and revealed subjective voice. A case study compares an A+ and D paper, finding the high-scoring paper propagated attitude systematically while the low paper disrupted attitudinal patterning. The findings suggest explicit instruction in incorporating attitude to establish academic criticality. A website on writing literature reviews was proposed to support student academic writing development.
The document discusses different types of academic writing. It begins by defining academic writing as writing that communicates ideas and research findings to other academics. It is formal in style and expected in university-level work. The document then contrasts academic writing with more personal styles of writing. Academic writing requires structure, citation of other authors to support ideas, adherence to grammar rules, and an objective, impersonal tone. The document outlines characteristics of academic writing such as formality, precise language, third-person point of view, research focus, logical organization, and citation of sources. Finally, it discusses different types of academic writing including descriptive, analytical, persuasive, and critical writing and provides examples of each.

Literature Review (Review of Related Literature - Research Methodology)Dilip Barad
Literature Review or Review of Related Literature is one of the most vital stages in any research. This presentation attempts to throw some light on the process and important aspects of literature review.
This document outlines the four stages of the writing process: planning, drafting, revising, and editing. It provides details on the key activities and steps involved in each stage.
The planning stage involves brainstorming topics, conducting research, taking notes, and developing a thesis statement and outline. Drafting entails creating a rough draft with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Revising is the process of critically evaluating and improving the draft through additions, deletions, and reorganizations. Editing is the final stage where technical errors are corrected to produce a polished final version. Mastering academic writing requires practice, and both reading and writing can help develop stronger skills over time.

Explanation
Annotated Bibliography is a genre of writing in academia that works to show your awareness of what others have written about a topic. The work done in an AB, including introducing the authors with brief intellectual biographies; explicating the main claims and concepts; tracing the argument and its evidence; evaluating the source; and discussing its stakes and implications gives some context to the course reading you choose to research and situates the course reading into a research topic by indicating the intellectual conversations you are entering. The point of this assignment is to practice research skills but also to dig a little deeper into 4 of our readings using research. For this assignment:Writing Task
1. Compile an Annotated Bibliographyof five scholarly sources, including one entry for Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” and 4 more scholarly sources based on researching sources that are connected to one (the deep dive) or more of our course readings. See the next page for the specific AB entry format.
· Sources
· “Scholarly” means peer-reviewed articles from academic journals or chapters in books written by experts in a field and not wikis, encyclopedias, newspapers, popular magazines/media, blogs, websites, etc. (see the Library Guide on what constitutes a scholarly source).
· “Connected” means that each of your researched, scholarly sources must be connection to a course reading in some way. You can either find a source that engages or discusses the particular critical essay or cultural text from the course calendar or you can do research on a topic or theme that is brought up in or similar to the course reading. Whatever you decide, you’ll explain the connection in your quote analysis.
· “Deep Dive” means you may also include more than one researched source per course text. You can, for instance, research two sources on a critical essay and two on a cultural text or even include 4 sources that are all about one essay or text to give some in-depth engagement with one course reading. Alternatively, you may also include 4 sources on 4 different course texts.
· Focus
· If you’d like, you canfocus your research within a broad topic, on a field of knowledge, or on a really specific object of analysis within that topic. For example, you can produce an AB based on a specific topic (like racialized hypersexuality, the sex/gender/desire matrix, or a particular sexual stereotype) or a specific discipline (for instance, focus on the sociology of sex) or an interdisciplinary one that pursues a critical research question through multiple fields of knowledge (for instance, focused on how sociology, cult.
This literature review discusses the importance and process of conducting a literature review for research. It begins by defining research and explaining that a literature review uses previously published work rather than reporting new primary research. The main steps of the literature review process are identified as selecting a topic, searching for and choosing relevant literature, writing the review, and analyzing and interpreting the literature. Key elements of an effective literature review are outlined as well, such as locating major works, identifying gaps, and establishing relationships between studies. While time-consuming, conducting a thorough literature review is crucial to provide context for the research and establish what is already known about the topic.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

2. Let’s begin with a brief interaction:
Do you think literature review is a
component of AW?
Why do we need to review the
literature?
Can you share your experiences of
the processes that you followed
while reviewing the literature?
3. Literature in AW
A “written document that presents a logically argued
case founded on a comprehensive understanding of the
current state of knowledge about a topic of study.
This case establishes a convincing thesis to answer the
study’s question”. (Machi & McEvoy, 2016)
4. Con…
• A literature review is a description, critical analysis and evaluation of works-
both print and digital and both current and seminal- that relate to your
research question or topic (Daymon & Holloway,2005).
5. Literature review in AW:
• Demonstrates author’s knowledge and understanding about a particular field of study,
including the vocabulary, theories, key variables and phenomenon, and its methods and
the major findings.
Literature review has specific roles in the sense that it:
• Gives justification
• Develops a common thread of arguments
• Clarifies the RQs
• Determines positionality
• Conceptualizes methodological and theoretical framework (Bryman, 2008)
6. Sources for the review
• Abstracts
• Bibliographies
• Reviews
• Conference proceedings,
• Dictionaries/encyclopedias
• Database index
• Data base statistics
• Internet search engines
13. The process of review in AW:
• Set a topic
• Search and re-search the literature
• Find relevant references from subject encyclopedias and reviews
• Take notes while reading
• Choose the type of review you wish to write
• Keep the review focused
• Be critical and consistent
• Develop a theoretical underpinning, build constructs and give meaning to the writing
by weaving a logical story.
14. Whatever the type or style you follow,
• Summarize
• Critique, and
• Explore gaps
15. Theoretical Literature: What?
Theoretical literature review involves:
• assessing the theories, methods and materials available on a research
problem or topic;
• identify existing theories and relate them to the specific study;
• assess and measure the status of the state of knowledge on a topic or
research problem and frameworks for study and analysis.
16. Empirical Review: What?
Empirical review is:
• the review of articles, theses or research reports based on
anecdotal evidence and
• reports on professional practices and standards.
17. Quick Ideas:
• Step I: Identify key terms
• Step II: See articles, books and theses
• Step III: Locate literature
• Step III: Read, evaluate and select
• Step IV: Organize literature
• Step V: Write
20. • Plan:Create a mind map or outline
before you start drafting.
• Identify: key terms from the title
• Locate: utilize all available resources
• Read: critically, evaluate and select the
literature for your review.
• Refine: as you write – give yourself
time to write many drafts, and refine
the writing and structure of your
argument.
21. Good Review
• Organized around a coherent set of questions.
• Includes the major landmarks guiding the study.
• Acknowledges the author’s biases as well as the limitations of the
review process.
• Critically evaluates.
• Uses quotes, illustrations, graphs, and/or tables to present and justify
the critical analysis of the literature.
23. Takes the form of a logical argument that concludes
with a clear rationale for additional research. …
24. Bad Review
• Rambles from topic to topic without a clear focus.
• Omits landmarks.
• Simply summarizes research findings without critical evaluation.
• Simply lists studies without presenting any critical evidence in the form of qu
otes, illustrations, graphs, and/or tables.
25. Title:
EDUCATIONALATTAINMENT OF PARENTS AND ITS IMPACT UPON
INSTRUCTED SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (SLA)
The term ‘educational attainment’ is related to literacy in the sense that it is one of the important variables
for a person to be literate. Educational attainment is frequently noted in the field of learning. Literacy
refers to some sort of educational awareness and its achievement by the citizen of the world in general and
the nation in particular. In simple words, literacy refers to the knowledge or education obtained by the
general people. Parent literacy signifies the access of education of those people who are married and have
one or more children and educational attainment refers to the level of education they have achieved.
According to the CBS report " literacy is the most significant indicator of human development and it is the
ladder of socio- cultural and economic development ". Relating the social dimension to literacy UNESCO
defines that "literacy is for generating peace and welfare in the nation." The ability to read and write in any
languages are literate and those who have the ability to calculate general mathematical problems are
literate". To sum up the above definitions, literacy can be taken as the indicator of human development,
source of prestige in society and the ability to perform general educational and mathematical problems.
26. Activity:
• See the article/s
• Make a brief review
• Share with your colleagues
• Get feedback
27. An example of empirical review
Classroom diversity:
• We come to see some research works undertaken in the filed of classroom and
learning diversity. Benzamin (2014) studied learner differences in English
achievement because of diversity. His study shows that learners posses different
abilities and if their abilities are not handled well then there could be differences in
their learning achievement which may invite some challenges in learners’ learning
achievement. Similarly, the study of Bolano (2017) shows that diversity has been one
of the determinants of learning success. In a heterogeneous class different forms
of diversities exist. This study points linguistic and cultural diversity as the major
one including the others.
28. Challenges:
can be challenging because:
• You need to coordinate many sources and ideas into a logical argument.
• You may be dealing with language and ideas you haven't fully mastered yet.
• There are no fixed rules for what to include or how to organize your writing.
• There is a wide gap between reviewing, writing an appropriate literature and the
practical process and contextual needs of same, especially among academics.
29. Literature review is particularly significant:
• To integrate and synthesize work from different research areas (Daymon &
Holloway,2005; Nunan,1993; Paltridge & Starfield,2007, Hartley, 2008; APA,
2010 ).
30. Record following information for each work:
• Author’s surnames and initials, all authors if there are several
• Name of publisher/date and place of publication
• Title of book/chapter/article
• Volume, issue and page no
• Source from which the book was obtained
32. Use of Authentic materials in teaching
vocabulary
• Vocabulary is a word that gives meaning. It is a lexical item (Richards, 2001).
Vocabulary is one of the component of teaching. In my experience, I started
learning English from vocabulary. The first word that I heard from my
teacher was discipline which means obedience in class. At that time, my
teacher taught me without using materials but these days we find many
materials. I believe that teachers may use different materials and they can be
authentic or non-authentic. However, in this study I want to explore only
authentic material. According to Hedge (2008), …….
