N2  - "This book presents SLA research as a source of specifications for teachers to explore in their own classrooms. The author sees the four main roles of SLA researchers as developing relevant theories, conducting their own classroom research, making research accessible to teachers, and facilitating action research. Each chapter addresses a major issue in the field of SLA and language teaching.-- Familiarizes you with the basic types of research design used in second language studies -- Gives you a genuine 'feel' for what doing research is like, by giving you specific roles (e.g. research subject, data collector, data analyst, reporter) within a variety of mini-studies. -- Explains different research types in detail: why they are used; how they are designed; what the different stages are for carrying them out; and how to evaluate them. -- Introduces you to some of the classic research studies into second language learning and encourages you to analyse and discuss them. -- Downloadable version of statistical tables and photocopiable worksheets on the Oxford Teachers' Club website."
