(2.2   Participants)

(Where was the data obtained from, how many of them, and what are the characteristics of the participants/samples, e.g. age, socioeconomic status, length of English study, place of work or study (mentioned in a vague way). Please note that the author should not disclose the real identity of the participants, such as names (use pseudonym instead), name of the organization or school where the participants work or study).

3.  Results and Discussion

Research article reporting on a quantitative study should present the results of both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. In a qualitative study, the author should present verbal data consisting of detailed description of his or her observation. Each table or graph presented in this section should be accompanied by a short, clear description, and hence no table or graph should be presented to speak for itself. No interpretation of the presented data should be offered in this section. This section should not exceed 20% of the total length of the entire article.
