505			_aThis introduction to research methods is designed to help students of applied linguistics, education researchers, classroom teachers, and teachers in training understand and critique published studies in the field of language learning. The book is highly accessible and does not assume specialist or technical knowledge. It presents a balanced and objective view of a range of methods including formal experiments, introspective methods (diaries, logs, journals, and stimulated recall), interaction and transcript analysis, ethnography, and case studies. Other topics covered are elicitation techniques, program evaluation, and action research. The book also emphasizes the practical and professional value to language teachers of initiating their own research. Tasks and exercises in each chapter help readers to develop the skills needed to formulate research questions: to collect, analyze, and interpret data: and to report the results to other professionals."
