In this original volume, eighteen researchers from different parts
of the world reflect on their own research projects, providing
insights into key methodological issues in research on second
language writing. By offering a glimpse into the process of
constructing and negotiating knowledge in the field--the messy
space of situated practices of inquiry--it helps to demystify the
research process, which can appear in published studies and in
introductory methodology guides to be neater and more orderly than
it actually is.
Taking a broad conception of research as inquiry that emphasizes
the situated and constructed nature of knowledge in the field,
"Second Language Writing Research: Perspectives on the Process of
Knowledge Construction" encourages multiple forms of inquiry,
including philosophical, narrative, and historical modes. Empirical
inquiry as presented in this book encompasses both quantitative and
qualitative approaches as well as those that strategically combine
them. A helpful discussion of the "nuts and bolts" of developing
sustainable research programs is also provided. The volume as a
whole facilitates a situated, issue-driven research practice. Its
unique focus on second language writing research makes it an
invaluable resource for both novice and experienced researchers in
the field.
