This book focuses on ethical and methodological issues faced by
researchers working with young language learners in formal school
contexts. It uncovers and explicitly discusses a range of ethical
dilemmas, challenges and experiences that researchers have
encountered and grappled with, in studies of all kinds from large
scale, experimental studies to ethnographic studies focused on just
a handful of children. The chapters are written by researchers
working with children in different classroom contexts around the
world and highlight how ethical dilemmas and tensions take on a
complex form in child-focused research, requiring researchers to
pay particular attention to the social and cultural norms of the
different communities within which children are educated as well as
their school-based experiences. The book comprises three sections,
with the first part focused on involving children as active
participants in research; part two on ethical challenges in
multilingual contexts and part three on links between teacher
education and researching children. The book includes a critical
discussion of the opportunities and challenges associated with
applying the UNCRC (1989) document in second language research with
children which will be of use to any researcher working in this
area.
This comprehensive guide to research and debate centres around
language learning in childhood, the age factor and the different
contexts where language learning happens, including home and school
contexts. The scope is wide, capturing examples of studies with
different age groups, different methodological approaches and
different languages.

Winner - British Council Innovation in English Language Teaching
Award 2006 This book was written for language teachers by language
teachers, with a view to encouraging readers to use more tasks in
their lessons, and to explore for themselves various aspects of
task-based teaching and learning. It gives insights into ways in
which tasks can be designed, adapted and implemented in a range of
teaching contexts and illustrates ways in which tasks and
task-based learning can be investigated as a research activity.
Practising language teachers and student professionals on MA
TESOL/Applied Linguistics courses will find this a rich resource of
varied experience in the classroom and a stimulus to their own
qualitative studies.

Who should speak for children in applied linguistics research?
Should it be only adults, or is there room for children's
perspectives and views as well? This pioneering book brings their
voices to the forefront and shows that listening to children can
open up new possibilities to conduct research with children rather
than just on them. It covers a range of possibilities, from simply
asking for children's perspectives to increasing levels of active
participation, including adult-child partnerships as well as
child-led research. Examples taken from the interdisciplinary
literature illustrate what is feasible to achieve in different
contexts, and both benefits and challenges are discussed, alongside
the most pressing ethical dilemmas. A new, alternative framework
for researching with children is promoted, which invites teachers
and researchers to consider a wider range of roles that children
can play, and encourages them to find their own opportunities when
it comes to research involving children.
