Description
A comprehensive treatment of six major approaches to second language learning in the classroom. The test studies correlational, case study, survey, ethnography, experimental and multi-method research techniques. It also includes illustrative studies, methodological principles and an extended sample study that guides readers in critical evaluation. The book demonstrates the uses and values of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, reflecting current thinking in research methodology. Case studies allow readers to assess how each method actually works, what kind of information it will provide and the problems which may arise in using that approach. Also addressed are current topics in second language acquisition, such as bilingual education and foreign language learning.
