ABSTRACT
The primary intention of this book has been to lay out the range of approaches, methods and techniques available for research by teachers of English as a foreign/second language, to give some indication of the underlying philosophies, to indicate what a rich menu of possibilities there is, to open up what ‘doing research’ might actually mean, and give some practical procedures for starting, generating research questions, looking at the history of issues, choosing methods, and bringing the work to the attention of a wider public.
