This study explores how three EFL graduate students of applied linguistics learned to write their MA thesis proposals in English in a graduate course named "thesis research design".Multiple sources of evidences were collected,including interviews,classroom observations,and presentation profiles.Data analyses show that the students encountered tremendous difficulties in selecting a research topic,designing the proposed research,and doing literature review in the process of writing their thesis proposals.However,through discussing with their supervisors and peers,and observing their peers’ presentations on research proposals,they gradually understood the requirements of thesis proposals and were able to complete their writing of research proposals within the time limit.This study indicates that the development of academic English writing ability needs systematic and clear instructions of academic English writing and collaborative relationship between instructors or supervisors and students.
