Writing a dissertation to fulfill the requirement for the completion of Ph.D. programs has always been the most challenging task for doctoral students. It is especially true for EFL students who not only need to struggle with the research process, but also the English language. One way to avoid being an ABD (All But Dissertation or All But Dead), dissertation chairs usually advice their EFL students with less research, no research experience, or low level of English proficiency not to conduct a qualitative dissertation which is "notorious" for its hardness and complication. Thus, students without time, energy, and good writing skills are not encouraged to do it. While the statement might be true, supervising and chairing a qualitative research dissertation is as hard as writing one. It is indeed challenging work for the first-time dissertation chair. The purpose of this study is to better prepare doctoral students and first time chairing dissertation faculty during this process by outlining the facts and tips of supervising, directing, and conducting a qualitative dissertation. More importantly, the author of the current research hopes more graduate students and scholars will conduct qualitative research studies. Yet, it is very essential for researchers to know that research questions determine the methods they need to use for their researches, not the methods they are most comfortable with. A 36-item bibliography is included. [This paper was published in: Access: Selected Papers.
