Reflection on Research Proposal



For the third task, we have been assigned by Dr. Rozina to come out with a mini research proposal. This task is the last assignment for the semester, aside from the blog. We have been given the freedom to choose any topic as long as it is related to this course. Therefore, we chose the topic of Exploring CALL's Effectiveness On Reading Comprehension Among ESL Learners. 


While completing this assignment, we encountered several challenges. This is because as we do not have any knowledge on the chosen topic,  we need to find suitable articles and journals written on the same or similar topic as reference.This is quite difficult as not many scholars did research on the topic. After finding a similar one and we began writing, we struggled to figure out the methods that are suitable to this research. We were worried that the anticipated result might not be parallel to the purpose of the study. After many discussions, we came through and we managed to finish the research proposal on time.


After finishing the assignment, we realized that when working in a group, communication is crucial as group members could misunderstand each other without proper discussion. Honesty and respect are two significant elements that need to exist in a group in order to have desired result. When dealing with one another it is important to understand the other person's situation to avoid offense. Communication skills is important in the working world as we will work with other people whom we might not know that well, especially when writing a research proposal that requires spending time together in gathering information.
