Qualitative Theory and Methods in Applied Linguistics Research

Davis, Kathryn A.·1995·TESOL Quarterly

Abstract

This article reviews basic issues of theory and method in qualitative research approaches to applied linguistics research. As pointed out by Lazaraton (this issue), a great deal of debate, misunderstanding, and confusion currently surrounds the use of qualitative research methods in the applied linguistics field. Much of this controversy appears to center around three interrelated issues: research traditions, definitions of research, and qualitative research theory and methods. In this article I examine these issues with a view toward dispelling some of the confusion and illuminating the ways in which qualitative research can contribute to our understanding of language acquisition and use.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
