Two Samples of Students' Practical Projects

Note to the Appendix

For both students and tutors, two samples of students' practical projects are included. In order to give you an authetic picture of what real-life students' projects look like, no editing has been made on the original texts, although the original formats and layouts have been slightly altered in order to cut the length of the appendix to its tolerable size.

Note that the samples should not be treated as the models for students to follow blindly.

The authors of the present book would like to take this opportunity to thank the two students who are kind enough to allow their projects to be included in the appendix.

Acknowledgment

I am mostly grateful to Professor Guide and Miss Xiang, without whose support this project would not implemented.
I am also grateful to my colleagues for their time spent on brainstorming, and Wing Ling.

No amount of thanks will be adequate for my students without whose willing participation in the project implementation it would have remained on paper.

Last but not the least, big thanks to my mother and father, without whose support, I would not have self-confidence to finish this project.

Abstract

It presents a detailed report of the project implemented to solve the problem that I spend a lot of time correcting my students' errors in their writing but some of them always seem to make them again. It is hypothesized that learners' errors in writing can be reduced by varied error-correction techniques. This hypothesis is verified by a three-week classroom teaching of varied error-correction techniques.

Among the methods of scientific investigation used are analytic method, cause analysis, interview and brainstorming.
