2. What citation styles can you find in the Introduction/Review of Related Literature? Copy 3
citations for each type. (20 points)
➢ Integral Citation
• For example, Zang, Thuc, and Pramoolsook (2012) focused on 20 agricultural
abstracts; Ozturk (2007) analyzed 20 introduction sections in the field of applied
linguistics, Lim (2006) investigated 20 management method sections, Williams
(1999) examined 8 medical results sections, while Peacock (2002) focused on 252
discussion sections in 7 different fields, and Amnuai and Wannaruk (2013) studied
40 conclusion sections in applied linguistics.
• As Hyland (2003) noted, rhetorical practice should enable non-native English
speakers to recognize the role of language in written communication.
• As demonstrated by Yang and Alison (2003), the organization patterns of empirical
RA’s tend to be more flexible toward the end.
➢ Non-Integral Citation
• Therefore, it can be said that ignoring the existence of the discourse norms might
cause unskilled writers to face serious problems when writing RAs for publication
because writers of academic papers, whatever their discourse communities, should
not only conform to linguistic conventions, but presentation of their work should
also be acceptable to their respective academic communities (Bhatia,1993).
• Furthermore, it is much more difficult for novice non-native writers who have to
write in English (Ren & Li, 2011).
• Also, this move framework accounts for the typical communicative purposes of the
discussion sections analyzed, and it was cited and applied in previous studies
(Amirian et al., 2008; Amnuai & Wannaruk, 2013; Basturkmen, 2009; Khorramdel
& Farnia, 2017), which underpinned the reliability of their models.
3. Identify the reporting verbs used in the integral citation; then, categorize them according to
verb tense. Analyze the function of the verb tenses. (10 points)

4. Where can you find the expression of research gap? What does the expression “research gap”
imply? Identify the paragraph number and write the implication. (20 points)
The expression research gap is found the introduction of the article. Where it shows lack of
understanding on how well an instrument implies in a certain situation. The research gap is stated
in paragraph 5 sentences 1, 3, and 4 in the article, wherein it argues in the existing research and
there is a succinctly a gap that you will seek to address with your audience in your project. The
research gap means that the missing aspect is in the current research literature and you have to fill
in your research approach to make your article publishable. In other words, it suggests a conclusion
from a study in which no answer has been given to a key query.
METHODOLOGY
1. What sub- components of the research paper does the writer describe in the Methodology
section? 20 points
• Data Analysis
• Data Collection
• Research Design
• Research Methodology
• Sampling Strategy
• Instruments
• Data Gathering Procedures
2. Jot down the main verbs (maximum of 3) used in the Methodology section and categorize them
according to verb tense. Why do you think the researcher used present or past tense of the verb?
10 points
➢ Present Tense:
• Interpret
• Contain
• Obtain
Reasons:
The present tense reference was used by the researchers since it depicts some of the procedures
carried out at that time. It indicates what is actually done or presented.
➢ Past Tense:
• Analyzed
• Excluded
• Realized
Reasons:
As the described action has already taken place and researchers have already used the above tense.
Therefore, these are evidence of the completion and readiness for perception of these methods.
