- The Research Paper for Advanced ESL Students. Campbell, Donald And Others Advanced Courses College Second Language Programs Course Descriptions Course Organization Educational Objectives English (Second Language) Higher Education Intensive Language Courses Research Reports Second Language Learning Technical Writing Writing Instruction A strategy for including writing of a research paper in a university's advanced intensive English course for students of English as a second language is described. The method consists of eight assignments given over the course of 11 weeks, resulting in a short research paper. The method is designed to minimize error by dealing with specific problems as the students progress through the process. It uses a conference-based, step-by-step approach to assignments and assessment, focuses on writing as a process, and ensures that the paper is original. A detailed weekly schedule of assignments provided as a reference for students, and teacher notes on and discussion of the eight specific assignments, are outlined. The assignments include: (1) preliminary topic selection and library tour; (2) a library sources search and final topic selection; (3) a thesis statement and sources search; (4) a preliminary outline and sources search; (5) a sentence outline and sources search; (6) note card development; (7) a first draft; and (8) a final draft. A list of actual topics and thesis statements and a sample student outline are appended. (MSE)
