Carrying out your own research project in LLE

Geoff Hall

pp. 213-231

Abstrakt

This chapter aims to help readers design and implement their own research project in LLE (literature in language education). The basic orientation assumed is that of Action Research (AR), as outlined at the beginning of Part 3. A teacher-researcher, in the AR perspective, wishes to understand better in order to transform an existing, less than satisfactory situation, in collaboration with other participants, and will then reflect on the effects of the transformation in order to go on improving practices in the interests of all participants. Traditionally, it was said that qualitative research was an orientation, essentially unteachable, learned by experience and apprenticeship only. An advisor, said to have been consulted by a doctoral student about to study native American society somewhere in California, is supposed to have produced the advice at the head of this chapter! Of course there is no substitute for experience, but this is a reason to begin observing, thinking and writing, not to feel disabled and intimidated.
