Research Methods in Applied Linguistics: A Practical Resource: Research Methods in Linguistics

Editat de Brian Paltridge, Aek Phakiti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 aug 2015

Analiza abordărilor și metodelor de cercetare reprezintă pilonul central al acestei a doua ediții din Research Methods in Applied Linguistics, un volum esențial pentru studenții de la nivel licență și masterat. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care editorii, Brian Paltridge și Aek Phakiti, au structurat materialul pentru a acoperi nu doar fundamentul teoretic, ci și aplicabilitatea practică a metodologiilor în contexte reale de învățare a limbilor străine. Prima parte a cărții ghidează cititorul prin complexitatea designului de cercetare, de la analiza cantitativă și calitativă până la metodele mixte, oferind capitole dedicate pentru tehnici specifice precum ancheta pe bază de chestionar, cercetarea experimentală și studiile de caz.

Putem afirma că acest volum reprezintă o evoluție firească în opera lui Brian Paltridge, completând lucrările sale anterioare axate pe Discourse Analysis. Dacă în acele titluri accentul cădea pe structura limbajului în context social, aici perspectiva se lărgește către rigoarea metodologică necesară oricărui cercetător în lingvistică aplicată. Cartea acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods in Applied Linguistics, dar cu o abordare mai orientată către resurse practice și pedagogice, fiind mai accesibilă pentru cei care se află la prima lor investigație academică.

Structura progresivă a cuprinsului, care trece de la metode generale la arii de profunzime precum motivația, credințele profesorilor și identitatea lingvistică, facilitează o experiență de învățare logică. Includerea secțiunilor despre etică și a glosarului de termeni transformă acest manual într-un instrument de referință care nu ar trebui să lipsească din biblioteca facultăților de litere și limbi străine.

Recenzii

Many contributors [to this volume] shine with their generous and insightful chapters ... This addition to the Bloomsbury Research Methods in Linguistics series surveys a considerable array of research practices and thinking ... and it does so with commendable concision.
This is a really welcome book: engaging, readable, personable, accessible, useful, and interesting. I would certainly recommend it to beginner research students.
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 [...] making it an invaluable resource for language teaching and learning. The strength [...] 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.
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.
The editors made strong choices in their selection of authors for the individual chapters, most of which are well known in their fields ... The result is a solid volume, coherently constructed, written in accessible language for the target audiences ... Students will undoubtedly find this book to be a good resource as they select a research methodology, and it will help them better understand the concerns associated with their selection ... What Paltridge and Phakiti have done well is to meld discussion not only of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods and research techniques and approaches, but also of a great number of other considerations (ethics, sample studies, lists of academic journals in applied linguistics, etc.) into one orderly, intelligible and effective presentation of material.
What I love about this book is the comprehensive material it provides: it discusses the essential elements of each research method and illustrates with samples from previous research. This fact makes this book unique and vital to Applied Linguistics researchers.
The book is comprehensive. I particularly like the break-down into two sections: one on methods, and one on specific areas of research within language acquisition and use.
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.
