    In this assignment, you are required to write an introduction of the study after choosing your
    research topic, ‘write the viable research objectives (maximum two) and research questions
    related to your research objectives and research topic, statement of the problem and the

    following sections/headings:

    1. Research Topic
    The research topic should give a clear indication of your proposed research approach or key
    questions.
    2. Introduction
    You should include:
     The background and issues of your proposed research
     A short introduction of the topic
     A summary of key debates and developments of the topic
    3. Objectives of the Study
    The objectives of a research study refer to the specific goals or aims that the researcher
    intends to achieve through the study. These objectives are typically outlined in the introduction
    of a research paper and serve as a guide for the study's direction and focus. They help clarify the
    purpose of the research and provide a framework for designing the methodology and analyzing
    the results.

    4. Research Questions/ Hypothesis


    You should formulate research questions and hypothesis very clearly, by clearly
    mentioning what needs to be explored and why they are worth exploring. Research questions
    need to be clear, researchable, connected with already established theory and research, linked
    with each other and capable of contributing to research.

    4. Statement of the Problem


    A statement of the problem should be based on one brief paragraph. It should clearly
    establish the aims of the research and the relationship sought between the variables/concepts of
    the study.

    5. Significance of the Study


    This section describes the importance or potential benefits of the research. It specifies
    how your study will improve, modify, or broaden the knowledge pool in the field under
    exploration. Make note that such improvements/modifications may have significant implications
    also.

    Literature Review

    After writing the introduction section, you will write a literature review. A literature review is a
    critical analysis and synthesis of scholarly sources on a specific topic or research question. It
    involves:

    1. Search for Relevant Literature: Identifying and gathering relevant sources such as
    books, journal articles, and other scholarly publications related to the topic.
    2. Evaluate Sources: Assessing the quality, credibility, and relevance of the collected
    literature to ensure it contributes meaningfully to the review.
    3. Identify Themes, Debates, and Gaps: Analyzing literature to identify common themes,
    ongoing debates, and gaps in existing knowledge or research.
    4. Outline the Structure: Organizing the literature review into sections based on themes,
    time periods, or methodologies to create a logical flow of information.
    5. Write the Literature Review: Summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and critically
    evaluating the sources to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of
    knowledge on the topic.

    Please note: You are advised to discuss your assignment with your supervisor via Skype or
