Case studies of individual language learners are a valuable means
of illustrating issues connected with learning, using, and in some
cases, losing another language. Yet, even though increasing numbers
of graduate students and scholars conduct research using case
studies or mix quantitative and qualitative methods, there are no
dedicated applied linguistics research methods texts that guide one
through the case study process. This book fills that gap.
The volume provides an overview of case study methodology and
examples of published case studies in applied linguistics, without
attempting to be a comprehensive survey of the innumerable case
studies that exist. The case studies presented here involve
teachers and learners of English and various other languages in
North America and other parts of the world. Advice is also given
about how to conduct and publish case studies.
Case Study Research in Applied Linguistics is designed for
students, both undergraduate and graduate, as well as other
scholars seeking to understand case study methods and their
applications in research on language learners and language users in
a variety of contexts. Applied linguists working in other subfields
will find the volume useful in their own research and in their
supervision and evaluation of others1 case studies.
