Abstract:

'Keith Richards' book on qualitative methods is truly excellent. The
writing is unusually clear, engaging, and carefully
crafted... Instructors of graduate-level courses on research methods
will find the three-level system of the book of remarkable pedagogical
value and the Reading Guides at the end of each chapter extremely
useful and rich... I have no doubt this textbook will become a best
seller in research methods courses in TESOL and applied linguistics
programs.'  Lourdes Ortega, Northern Arizona University

Graduate and professional TESOL students will welcome this research
methods textbook for undertaking qualitative, naturalistic and action
research projects. Uniquely, the book offers a three-level structured
progression, suited both to novice and intermediate students with a
focus on development as classroom teachers of English, and to advanced
students engaged in academic research work in applied
linguistics. Every chapter is structured to develop the important
skills for undertaking QI in a rigorous and serious way, at whatever
level is appropriate for the reader's purpose. The book is both
scholarly in approach and written in an engagingly direct and clear
style.
