Abstract
MA theses are the most important and the last step for them to attain their degree; however, their graduation dissertations must get the approval from the outside expert reviewers. Based on the analysis of 64 outside expert reviewers’ reactions to the MA theses of students majoring in foreign linguistics and applied linguistics, this paper is designed to classify the expert reviewers’ comments and find out the core factors that expert reviewers mostly pay attention to. Through the classifications and analysis of all the remarks, it can be seen that research background, language and research methodology are the frequently assessed part. At the end of the paper, the author gives some suggestions for both graduate students and tutors on how to efficiently avoid the common problems in the writing of the MA theses.
