英语教学科研方法（英文本）

　　This book offers a lively introduction to the research methods and techniques available to English language teachers who wish to investigate aspects of their own practice. It covers qualitative and quantitative methodology and includes sections on observation. introspection， diary studies， experiments， interviews， questionnaires， numerical techniques and case sutdy research. Each method is illustrated with examples in language teaching contexts， and techniques of data collection and analysis are introduced. The authors focus particularly on research in the classroom， on tests， materials， the effects of innovations， and they discuss methods appropriate to research in various collaborative modes as well as by individuals.
