Bedrettin Yazan; Ufuk Keles – Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research, 2024
In this dialogic article, we discuss the potential of autoethnography as a methodology to examine emotions in language education. We wrote this dialogue in such an 'organic' way that it reflects the snippet of our ongoing conversation around autoethnography. We did not have this dialogue in person; we just knew that we would be writing a dialogic…

Art Tsang; Alex Lap-kwan Lam – Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, 2025
Against the backdrop of greater emphasis on learner centredness and growing attention to learners' voices in recent decades, concerns have been raised over researchers' dominance in shaping research scope and findings. Whether it be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research, learners' voices are mostly absent at the methodological…

Arndt, Henriette; Rose, Heath – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2023
Diary methods have long been used as pedagogic tools in learning, and as part of reflective practice in teacher education, but less often as data collection instruments in educational research. This is in part due to implementation challenges emerging from the time and literacy demands they place on participants. To illustrate the use of diary…

Benson, Phil – Language Teaching, 2019
Those who have advocated social approaches to applied linguistics have often been critical of the individualism of second language acquisition (SLA) research. This paper identifies the emergence of a more balanced view of the social and individual in recent work. Adopting Berger's (1972) metaphor of 'ways of seeing', it offers a history of applied…

The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House: Decolonising Intercultural Communication
Ferri, Giuliana – Language and Intercultural Communication, 2022
The issue of representation has polarised public discourse and in recent years the decolonisation of research methodologies has entered the field of interculturality. However, universalistic discourses of dialogue and tolerance can be harnessed to silence certain voices by construing them as 'other'. With this paper I confront this conceptual knot…

This article addresses ten 'tricky' questions related to narrative inquiry in the field of language teaching and learning research.

The questions deal with issues to do specifically with narrative inquiry methods as…

Moranski, Kara; Ziegler, Nicole – Language Learning, 2021
Multisite research (MSR) offers the key advantages of greater statistical power and external validity via larger and more diverse participant pools. In second language acquisition (SLA) research, recent developments in meta-analysis have created a robust foundation for MSR. Although logistical and financial obstacles can complicate expansion…

Elgort, Irina; Siyanova-Chanturia, Anna – Second Language Research, 2021
Lexical knowledge is complex, multidimensional, and difficult to pin down to a set of defined components. The development, organization, and use of lexical knowledge in the first and additional languages are studied in a number of neighbouring disciplines beyond second language acquisition and applied linguistics, including psycholinguistics,…

Neupane, Dhruba – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2022
Research in international student success, satisfaction, and challenges seems still to be constructed around the colonial, imperial paradigm. Informed by deficit models of language, culture, and literacy teaching, such research portrays international students' challenges in terms of deficiency; discounts other languages, cultures, and literacy…

Lowe, Robert J. – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2021
Critical English language teaching (ELT) research is expanding in scope, covering topics such as linguistic imperialism, native-speakerism, and the intersections between issues of race, class, and gender. With this expansion comes a requirement for robust and rigorous methods of data collection and analysis for researchers to employ. This article…

Ushioda, Ema – Language Teaching, 2016
In this paper I propose an agenda for researching language learning motivation "through a small lens", to counteract our tendency in the second language (L2) motivation field to engage with language learning and teaching processes at a rather general level. I argue that by adopting a more sharply focused or contextualized angle of…
