    Christopher Brumfit PhD/Ed.D.

    Thesis Award 2013


    Sponsored by Cambridge University Press and
    promoted by Language Teaching
    Aim

    To recognize doctoral thesis research that makes a significant and original contribution
    to the field of SLA and/or foreign/second language teaching and learning.

    Award

     Cambridge University Press books to the value of £500

    Eligibility

    To be considered for the award:

     The candidate’s institution must have accepted the thesis for the PhD/Ed.D. no
    more than two years before the date of the award application.
     The research must have been completed as part of the requirements for a
    doctoral degree or its equivalent at a university.
     Although the thesis under consideration must be in English, the research may be
    related to work concerning any second language.
     Candidates should not have applied for the award on a previous occasion

    Application Process

    In the first instance, applicants must submit the following:

     Two files: One MS WORD file containing a summary of the thesis, not to
    exceed 17 double-spaced pages, with references, font size 12, and a separate MS
    WORD file containing a 150-word abstract of the thesis. Both files should be
    clearly labelled with the candidate’s name. The maximum size of any file sent
    should not exceed 2 Mb.

    Preparing your summary

    Care should be taken in drafting the summary so that the referees are provided with as
    detailed a report as possible on the work undertaken. Candidates should prepare the text
    for an audience that may not be expert in all the specific concepts or methods used in
    your specialist topic area.

    The summary should include a brief description of the theoretical background of the
    research and (where appropriate) specify the research questions, the research methods
    (including data analyses) used and why these were chosen, the results, and implications
    of these outcomes. Examiners will pay particular attention to: whether the study makes
    a significant and original contribution to knowledge and understanding of the field
    concerned; whether the problem tackled emerges naturally and clearly from the review
    of the theoretical background of the research; whether the method is presented in
    sufficient detail and with enough explanation as to why the methods used were chosen;
    whether the analytic methods used are justified and shown to be sufficient for the task
    and if these are clearly linked to the explicit hypotheses, predictions, or questions which
    formed part of the stated research problem; whether the discussion and/or conclusion
    evaluates the project’s contribution to the local and wider field of research; finally,
    whether there is a clear and significant contribution to the field of SLA and/or FL
    teaching and learning.

     Proof of the award of the degree by the candidate’s university. This can be a
    scanned copy in pdf form of the degree certificate or a scanned official
    letter/transcript from the university in question stating clearly the date of
    conferment of the degree.

    Only electronic applications are accepted.

     Originality and creativity
     Quality of presentation
