This course will cover research methodologies with a particular focus on language education (e.g., language learning, language teaching). It will address the “what” and “how” of research, by providing students with research skills invaluable in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of research. Students will learn about various kinds of research, from small-scale case studies to large-scale experiments. In addition, the course will help students develop critical, analytical skills which will enable them to read and evaluate published research in an informed manner, identifying research problems and questions. In this course, we will cover both quantitative and qualitative research methods. It will be helpful to students who are in the process of designing their own projects, such as course projects or senior theses.
