to whom it may concern,
i have known mr. xxx ever since he was an ma student, and since the autumn of 2008 he has been under my supervision as a phd candidate. in these years, he has attended my courses and seminars in language testing, esl reading theory and practice, psycholinguistics, etc. he has impressed me as an intelligent, hardworking, and highly motivated student with great potential for academic achievement and intellectual independence. i have noticed, much to my pleasure, that he has a strong desire to probe into academically challenging topics and has the kind of determination and perseverance necessary for conducting academic research.
mr. xxx has read, extensively, literature on language testing, corpus linguistics, syntax, pragmatics, second language acquisition, and other related subjects. this, i believe, has equipped him with the necessary theoretical knowledge which will enable him to undertake his planned research. so far he has published, as a co-author, an article on the tagging principles of corpus for english majors, in addition to papers accepted and presented at several national symposiums on the mainland.
mr. xxx has been heavily involved in two state-funded research projects: construction and applications of corpus for english majors, and assessing spoken english of chinese science and engineering majors: a corpus-based approach. in addition, he has also been a major contributor in two university-funded research projects, both of which concern corpus-based studies. his participation in these projects has enabled him to acquire much empirical experience in conducting research work, in particular
corpus-based research.
yours sincerely,
