Abstract

The six questions for thesis writing and project application include: (1) What problem do you plan to solve? (2) Where will you start off based on literature review? (3) What is the research design? (4) What will be your innovative ideas and major findings? (5) What will be the theoretical and practical significances? (6) What guarantees your proposed research? This study, with demonstrations of and comments on thesis and project samples in the field of foreign languages and literatures, provides a thorough account for the priorities and difficulties in answering the questions. It is found that brief and careful answers to and overall reflections on these six questions can help young scholars to judge the value and feasibility of the project, as well as clarify and generate innovative ideas in their research. And a waste of time on biased approaches and insignificant things can thus be prevented.
