foundations of research methods is designed to enable students and
professionals in the field of applied linguistics to become not
just casual consumers of research who passively read bits and
pieces of a research article, but discerning consumers able to
effectively use published research for practical purposes in
educational settings. All issues important for understanding and
using published research for these purposes are covered. Key
principles are illustrated with research studies published in
refereed journals across a wide spectrum of applied linguistics.
Exercises throughout the text encourage readers to engage
interactively with what they are reading at the point when the
information is fresh in their minds. Intended for and field-tested
in courses in MA-TESOL/TEFL and applied linguistics programs,
course instructors will find that this text provides a solid
framework in which to promote student interaction and discussion on
important issues in research methodology. This book provides an
excellent foundation for those who plan to continue in an active
research agenda. Changes in the Third Edition Chapter 2 revised to
