ABSTRACT
This chapter describes some concepts such as creating a title, developing an abstract and responding to reviewers. The purpose of the abstract is like that of the title-to informs the reader of the content of the manuscript and prompts their interest in reading it. Although reviewers do not generally comment much on abstracts, they provide reviewers with their first understanding of the manuscript and set up expectations for what reviewers will encounter as they read; therefore, it is important to write an effective abstract. The American Psychological Association (APA) manual suggests that the abstract for a data-based article should generally provide: The problem being addressed, pertinent information about the participants, important aspects of the methodology, basic findings, and central conclusions and implications. The chapter focuses on the relationship of a theoretical component and language learning. This theory has not yet been tested in parts of the field of education.
