Welcome to the Hong Kong Online Writing Lab (HOWL)

HOWL aims to assist postgraduate writers working on their dissertations and theses.

HOWL contains a variety of information on typical writing conventions and organisational principles that are central to dissertation writing. It also has a corpus of dissertations from Applied Linguistics. The corpus enables the reader to look for variety of language use and vocabulary use.

All graduate students may find HOWL a useful site, especially those who are completing their graduate studies in a language-related discipline.

So please browse through these pages at your leisure and let us know how we can make this database more friendly.
