Tarone, Elaine ed., Gass & Cohen et. al., (1994), Research Methodology in Second-Language Acquisition, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdale, NJ. Publication Year: 1994

 

This book explores issues related to research methodology as it pertains to second-language acquisition (SLA). The possibilities for inclusion of topics in a book of this sort are broad. We have by necessity limited the range of topics to include those that we consider to have theoretical import. The book is intended to uncover, problematize, and debate underlying theoretical issues in research methodology. It covers research issues that relate to the theoretical debate on such basic questions as competence versus performance as well as to issues of data type (e.g., quantitative vs. qualitative, individual vs. grouped data, single subjects vs. multiple subjects). For complementary works that provide comprehensive discussions of such aspects of research as subject selection and reporting, types of methodology (e.g., cross-sectional vs. longitudinal), and statistical analyses, the reader is referred to works such as Brown ( 1988), Gass and Selinker ( 1994), Johnson ( 1992), Larsen-Freeman and Long ( 1991), Nunan ( 1992), and Seliger and Shohamy ( 1989).

 

Gass, Susan ed., Schachter, Jacquelyn ed., (1996), Second Language Classroom Research: Issues and Opportunities, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, New Jersey, 1996

 

The contributors talks nitty-gritty of doing classroom-based research in second language issues and opportunities. The articleconfers in neither the generation of research questions nor the setting up of research projects, for they had had much experience in that area. Rather, they made an honest behind-the-scenes look at what happens from the beginning to the end of a research project within a classroom context. In other words, they did not include about the end result the part that appears on the printed pages of journals.

Braine, George (1999), Non-Native Educators in English Language Teaching, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Place o: Mahwah, New Jersey, 1999

 

The author talks about the 1995 Teachers of English to Speakers of Other language (TESOL) Convention held in Long Beach, a stimulating colloquium titled "Research Writing, Genre, and Socialization" which examined the role of socialization in non-native speakers' (NNSs) understanding and use of various writing genres ( Belcher et al., 1995). The author emphasizes the most encouraging enthusiasm of the NNSs in the audience; some claimed that they finally had a voice. The origin of this book can be traced to the interest generated in NNS issues at the Chicago colloquium. In fact, the colloquium has since spawned five other colloquia at subsequent TESOL conventions and inspired the formation of a TESOL Caucus for non-native educators.
