The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods in Applied Linguistics provides a critical survey of the methodological concepts, designs, instruments and types of analysis that are used within the broad field of applied linguistics. With more than 40 chapters written by leading and emerging scholars, this book problematizes and theorizes applied linguistics research, incorporating numerous multifaceted methodological considerations and pointing to the future of good practice in research. Topics covered include:

  • research designs such as experimental research, case study research, and action research;
  • data collection methods, from questionnaires and interviews to think-aloud protocols and data elicitation tasks;
  • data analysis methods, such as use of R, inferential statistical analysis, and qualitative content analysis;
  • current considerations in applied linguistics research, such as a need for transparency and greater incorporation of multilingualism in research; and
  • recent innovations in research methods related to multimodality, eye-tracking, and advances in quantitative methods.
