Each subsequent chapter focuses on

Each subsequent chapter focuses on one area of data collection, outlining key concepts, procedures and practical concerns for good data elicitation.Each chapter also showcases a handful of model research projects where the data collection techniques have been used to collect data in a successfully completed study. In our experience as doctoral and masters research supervisors, we find that data collection research methods tend to be more tangible to novice researchers, rather than the abstractness of research designs and approaches. Thus, in organizing the remainder of our book around the methods to collect the data, we hope to provide the reader with a more perceptible roadmap to conducting research successfully in applied linguistics.
