Description
The second edition of Data Collection Research Methods in Applied Linguistics investigates how research is conducted in the field, encompassing the challenges and obstacles applied linguists face in collecting good data.
Fully revised and updated, this new edition includes:
- five new chapters on data elicitation tasks, tests and measures, interviews, questionnaires, and digital and multimodal data collection
- the expertise of a new co-author
- model research where the technique is used to collect data in successfully published studies
- pre-reading activities (think, discuss, imagine)
- post-reading activities (reflect, expand, apply)
- global case studies
- further reading suggestions and an updated glossary
- a new companion website that includes lecture slides and discussions tasks based on the case studies.
Each chapter focuses on one type of data collection, including interviews and focus groups, field notes, observations, stimulated recall, corpus building, and questionnaires, and outlines key concepts, threats to reliability and validity, and procedures for good data elicitation.
This book is an essential guide to frequently used data collection techniques in the field of applied linguistics and a valuable resource for both experienced and novice applied linguists.
