초록

The purpose of this article is to provide a forum for discussing an interpretive qualitative approach to second language learning and teaching. This paper focuses on investigating what are the rationales for doing qualitative research, what kinds of criteria qualitative research should meet, and how it may be implemented in a particular learning and teaching context, centering the discussion around a research project I have conducted. The interpretive qualitative research I present in this article was conducted with the aim of examining the nature of discourse practice involved in a TESOL graduate course where nonnative- and native-English-speaking graduate students negotiated meaning through CMC activities. An explanation of the rationale behind this qualitative approach is followed by a description of how data was collected and analyzed and then by a review of research findings. This overview of some of the theoretical and methodological considerations involved in conducting interpretive qualitative research suggests the complex and challenging nature of conducting these types of studies. This article concludes that successful implementation of the qualitative research into the nature of discourse practice requires an understanding of the research methodology as well as the rigor of the research procedures.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a forum for discussing an interpretive qualitative approach to second language learning and teaching. This paper focuses on investigating what are the rationales for doing qualitative research, what kinds of criteria qualitative research should meet, and how it may be implemented in a particular learning and teaching context, centering the discussion around a research project I have conducted. The interpretive qualitative research I present in this article was conducted with the aim of examining the nature of discourse practice involved in a TESOL graduate course where nonnative- and native-English-speaking graduate students negotiated meaning through CMC activities. An explanation of the rationale behind this qualitative approach is followed by a description of how data was collected and analyzed and then by a review of research findings. This overview of some of the theoretical and methodological considerations involved in conducting interpretive qualitative research suggests the complex and challenging nature of conducting these types of studies. This article concludes that successful implementation of the qualitative research into the nature of discourse practice requires an understanding of the research methodology as well as the rigor of the research procedures.
