Over the past two decades, the number of graduate students and practising teachers undertaking research projects in Applied Linguistics has soared, and the majority of them are ‘qualitative’ in nature. Partly this reflects a general trend away from quantitative towards qualitative research in the social sciences, but it is also probably true to say that necessarily small-scale projects, aiming to explore a pedagogical issue of personal significance to the researcher, lend themselves more easily to a qualitative approach. However, as the editors of this volume make clear from the start, qualitative researchers have to meet standards just as exacting as those working in the ‘positivist’ quantitative tradition, and it is to help novice researchers understand and aspire to those standards that they have put together this valuable work.

In a sense we are all qualitative researchers in our daily lives, Croker observes at the start of the opening chapter; when we enter a new social environment, for example, we watch other people, talk to them, notice patterns in their behaviour and speech, try to understand what they know and how they think, and then later perhaps describe our impressions to a friend. The essential difference in research is that these activities are done for a purpose and in a systematic way, and this requires training. The book organizes this training in two main sections, dealing with ‘qualitative research approaches’ and ‘qualitative data collection methods’, preceded by a couple of chapters on the meaning of qualitative research, and followed by a couple more on ‘practical issues’, though every chapter is eminently practical in its orientation. In the main sections, each chapter follows a set format: it starts with an ‘illustrative example’ of a student or teacher researcher using that approach or method, and the writers return to this example at several points to show how their ideas might be put into practice; there are then sections that explain ‘what is …?’ and ‘why use …?’; the next sections offer advice on data collection, data interpretation, and presenting findings, while a final section deals with common pitfalls. Every chapter ends with a summary, a list of keywords, post-reading questions, and possible tasks (of the kind which might be done by students taking a module in ‘research methods’). Inevitably this format leads to some repetition—issues such as ‘triangulation’ and ‘emic perspectives’ come up again and again—but the book is probably not intended to be read as a whole but in chapters, for instance by students or teachers planning a particular type of research study or using particular qualitative data collection techniques.

This review makes a point in favor of the assertion made for the book that it is a practical introduction to the qualitative research in applied linguistics. The book consists of four parts: an overview of qualitative research, qualitative research methods, qualitative data collection methods, ethical practice issues and the writing of research reports. After proving a rich introduction to the qualitative research, the book discusses qualitative research approaches using a reader-friendly and interactive structure: pre-reading and post-reading questions along with the list of further readings. Then the data collection tools have been thoroughly discussed. What makes this book more useful is the use of illustrative examples for each qualitative research approach and data collection tool. The last part discusses core issues of ethics and drafting a research report. From the perspective of a novice researcher, it has achieved the goal of educating readers about qualitative research met...

This article asks what applied linguistics can learn from related disciplines with regard to the collection, analysis and representation of qualitative interviews. It assesses the contributions of qualitative sociology, anthropology, discursive psychology and outlines four 'discourse dilemmas' which might provide the basis for a more critical and reflective dimension to the use of qualitative interviews in applied linguistics. Summarizing important contributions that have already been made in applied linguistics, the article also highlights the contribution of the other articles in this special issue. Furthermore, the article also outlines a number of 'parameters of sensitivity' that might help researchers develop a more reflective approach to the carrying out, analysing, and reporting on qualitative interviews.

The present article offers a review and a short analysis based on the text “Research approaches in applied linguistics” written by Patricia Duff (2010). The just mentioned article constitutes the initial section of the book “The Oxford Handbook of Applied Linguistics” and goes from the pages 1 to 19.

This Second Edition of the foundational textbook An Introduction to Applied Linguistics provides a state-of-the-art account of contemporary applied linguistics. The kinds of language problems of interest to applied linguists are discussed and a distinction drawn between the different research approach taken by theoretical linguists and by applied linguists to what seem to be the same problems. Professor Davies describes a variety of projects which illustrate the interests of the field and highlight the marriage it offers between practical experience and theoretical understanding. The increasing emphasis of applied linguistics on ethicality is linked to the growth of professionalism and to the concern for accountability, manifested in the widening emphasis on critical stances. This, Davies argues, is at its most acute in the tension between giving advice as the outcome of research and taking political action in order to change a situation which, it is claimed, needs ameliorisation. This dilemma is not confined to applied linguistics and may now be endemic in the applied disciplines. Key features • surveys current issues in applied linguistics, including the concept of the Native Speaker and the development of World Englishes • examines the influence of linguistics, cognitive science and philosophy on applied linguistics and makes a contrast with educational linguistics • proposes that a key issue for the profession will increasingly be the tension between advice and action • suggests that applied linguistics is a theorising rather than a theoretical discipline. This new textbook series provides advanced introductions to the main areas of study in contemporary Applied Linguistics, with a principal focus on the theory and practice of language teaching and language learning and on the processes and problems of language in use.
