This course introduces students to diverse research methods and skills in English studies. Students will explore various research paradigms and corresponding methodologies in applied linguistics and literary studies. Through critical analysis of sample studies, students will learn to evaluate research questions and practice applying a range of data collection methods and interpretive/analytical approaches. They will develop their own research questions and propose their own study, for which they will submit a research proposal. The main aim is to prepare students to formulate a feasible research design and conduct research under guidance from EN faculty during their final year of study (the BA research project).
