Review Quotes
"The collection is recommended not only to the students who are its intended readership, but also to supervisors of specific topics and to lecturers on research methods wanting up-to-date summaries." --Discourse Studies
"... this is a really welcome book: engaging, readable, personable, accessible, useful, and interesting. I would certainly recommend it to beginner research students." --ELT Journal, Vol. 65, No. 4 "This important volume, the work of a diverse group of experienced researchers, introduces beginning researchers to the available resources on research approaches to language teaching and learning...it is an excellent companion to anyone interested in doing research in Applied Linguistics. The book is relevant to students as well as experienced researchers as, apart from succinctly describing principal concepts in research methodology, it also provides references useful for further investigation...The key issues and sociolinguistic areas relevant to research methods are clearly addressed in the Companion, making it an invaluable resource for language teaching and learning. The strength of the Companion is in the clear and cohesive structure of both parts of the volume, the clarity of style consistent throughout, and practical illustrations make the book a very valuable and motivating read." --Australian Review of Applied LinguisticsAbout the Author
