The aim of this course is to develop students’ understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methods to give firm base for EFL & ESL instruction and research. This course will focus on inquiry, the research process, and synthesis. We will discuss research-shaped practice, informed by existing literature and by research conducted by teachers themselves.

This course requires a lot of reading. The reading will often be challenging. It will often require more than one pass (i.e., reading the same text more than once). A student’s understanding of the readings will reflect their preparation (i.e., the number of times the student reads, the notes that they took, etc.). The better prepared, the better the student will be at discussing the course content, the more points they will receive for participation.

Students are encouraged to read outside of the text. Each textbook chapter includes further reading suggestions, and students who use these suggestions will gain a deeper understanding of the conceptual aims of this class.

The class will also have a Final Writing Assignment. For the assignment, students will need to demonstrate their knowledge of the course content. For this class, students will need to design and outline a research project.
