Students who wish to pursue a Ph.D should choose the thesis track. Students in the thesis track submit Master’s Graduation Portfolio (GP). This Portfolio is the MA research paper/thesis usually a review of literature with conclusions drawn after conceptualizing an area of inquiry, planning a systematic search, and analyzing and critiquing the acquired information. This academic paper should advance research knowledge and skills in teaching Arabic as foreign language (TAFL) discipline. This paper shows the way of tying together major themes, issues, and perspectives the TAFL student has encountered and reflected upon over the research fundamentals course in the Master’s program. This understanding is cast in the light of what it means to the TAFL student and for the TAFL student’s intended academical context.
