Research questions

Sample) The purpose of this study is to investigate the L2 reading motivation of Japanese high school students and compare the results with those of Mori's (2002) study. To this end, I have posed the following two research questions:

1. What are the major sub-components of motivation for reading in English for a sample of Japanese high school learners of English?
2. What differences and similarities can be found between the results of the present study and the results of Mori's study? 

Method 

The first thing to notice about the method section is that it continues on the line 

immediately following your introduction. It does not begin on a separate page. The word 

“Method” is capitalized, centered, and bolded on the line following the Introduction and then you 

begin writing the methods section. The methods section is divided into three subsections. This 

introductory paragraph would not exist in a real paper. Rather, the Participant section begins 

immediately following the Method heading. 

Subjects/Participants 

 The first section is the participant section. You type the word “Participants” flush on the 

left margin. Notice that the first letter is capitalized and that it is bolded. In the participants 

section you describe all of the relevant characteristics of your sample (e.g., number, age, gender, 

etc.), where the participants were from (don't give the specific location rather write in general 

terms; e.g., public University in the Midwestern United States), how the participants were 

selected or recruited, and what if any incentives were given for participation in the study.

Materials/Instruments

 In the materials section you explain what was used to perform the study. In this class the 

materials are usually written instructions and paper and pencil tests. These things fall under the 

subsection of materials. If you were using some type of machinery such as a computer, or 

operant chamber, then you would label this section Apparatus. 

Procedure /Data Collection

 In the procedure section you must summarize each step in the execution of the study. 

The reader should be able to read your procedure and then be able to replicate your experiment 

in the exact way that you originally ran it. You must be very careful in explaining how to run the 

experiment, so that it is very clear to the reader how to perform the experiment. Do not assume 

that just because I was there when the study was designed that I will understand your procedure 

if you leave some things out. I will read your paper as if I know nothing about the study.
