Recenzii

This book-chock full of examples from published studies-is one that I have often wished I had. A text that is comprehensive yet accessible, students and veteran scholars alike will benefit in a major way from Rose, Briggs Baffoe-Djan, and McKinley's insights on the many decisions involved in collecting data.
A masterfully written volume, providing clear, focused and very practical advice on data collection for applied linguistics research. Key concepts and procedures are explained succinctly and assuringly, with suggested reading, to enable students to 'think, discuss, and imagine'. A must-read for anyone who wants to carry out applied linguistics research in a proper manner.
What really impresses readers lies in the structure of each chapter ... This book also assists both experienced and novice researchers to strengthen their research work through the concepts of transparency of realities.
