Reporting and Interpreting Research Findings

Read the explanation, study the example, and practice at your own pace.

  • Communicative Objective: Develop the ability to report research findings accurately, distinguish results from interpretations, describe limitations, and explain the significance of evidence in formal academic language.
  • 5 Core Functional Sentences:
    1. The analysis revealed a statistically significant association between the two variables, although the effect was relatively modest.
    2. Participants who had received additional training were considerably more likely to complete the task successfully.
    3. What remains unclear is whether the observed improvement can be attributed directly to the intervention.
    4. The findings should be interpreted cautiously, given that the sample was drawn from a relatively limited population.
    5. Further research would be required before these results could be generalized to substantially different contexts.
  • Grammar Focus: Passive reporting structures, relative clauses, cleft sentences, participle clauses expressing reason, modal passives, and cautious academic qualification.
  • Vocabulary Focus: statistically, association, variable, attribute, generalize
