INTRODUCTION
Context: Brief background so a non-specialist can follow.
Problem/Gap: What we still don’t know or where prior work falls short.
Purpose/Aim: What your study will do to address that gap.
Research Question(s)/Objectives: The exact questions you’ll answer.
Contribution/Significance: Who benefits and how.
LITERATURE REVIEW
- Themes/strands in the literature rather than one-by-one summaries.
- Where findings agree/disagree and why (methods, samples, contexts).
