To encourage and facilitate research activities of Research Postgraduate (RPg) students of the Faculty of Humanities (FHM), Research Support Grant was open for application to each RPg student admitted in the beginning of his/her study in the University in the academic years of 2018/19 and 2019/20. The funding can be used to attend professional courses/programmes, workshops, academic conferences (with paper presentation), and immersion visit with an aim of developing their research skills and research proposals for the PhD qualifying examination. Here are some grant recipients’ sharing:
Thao received the certificate from Beijing Foreign Studies University.
“FHM Research Support Grant offered me a valuable support to my participation in the 2nd Conference on English Language Education in the Chinese Context at Beijing Foreign Studies University and 4-week pilot study in Vietnam. Apart from building up my knowledge related to the use of technology in English Language Education, I created a new social and academic networking with other researchers in the similar area during the conference. Moreover, I believe that what I experienced and learned in the pilot study could support my examination of the conceptual framework and the research instruments for my research proposal. I have also improved my personal research skills.” (Tran Thi Thanh Thao, Grant Recipient in 2018/19)
Liubov took photo with Professor Lourdes Ortega of Georgetown University.
“With the support from the Faculty, I joined the Georgetown University Round Table (GURT) on Languages and Linguistics for paper presentation and worked on my research proposal in March 2020. Although part of the conference was held online due to the pandemic situation, I could still meet some prominent international scholars, whose research interests are in the scope of my concentration. I also participated in the panel discussion concerning the dominance of English and its impact on multilingual learners. I received constructive feedback from various linguists around the world regarding my study.” (Darzhinova Liubov, Grant Recipient in 2019/20)
