Research Writing in Iraqi Colleges: Suggestive Unit Plan

Abstract

Teaching research writing needs great efforts due to the outdated textbooks used in Iraqi universities and the lack of training for instructors which resulted in a huge gap of writing and research production in Iraq compared to other parts of the world. In this study, the researcher developed a unit for one type of research (quantitative), to show how much distance is the textbook used from what students need to learn writing in reality.
