| Unit Description |
LING 461 will help students to acquire 'research literacy' with regard to the basic principles of both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Students develop an ability to understand and assess actual research studies (especially in Applied Linguistics) by becoming aware of the strengths and weaknesses of various research-model options. Some of the issues considered include the basic principles of research design and statistical analysis, theory-testing and model building, and basic principles of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Web access is essential. |
