Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course for students undertaking linguistic projects (seminar, MA thesis) we will address a range of issues related to the appropriate and scientifically sound use of a variety of research methods. We will consider research design, quantitative and qualitative methods, including interviews, questionnaires, matched guise, observation, using language corpora, case studies and experimental elicitation of (learner) data. Appropriate ways of analysis, including the basics of statistical analysis, will also be introduced. Topics can be added or altered given students' research interests.
