The participants are expected to learn to choose and adapt various tools and procedures for their own research projects.
本課程旨在引導華語教學領域研究生掌握研究方法與撰寫研究報告與論文。

This course provides a forum for participants to evaluate data collection methods in empirical studies of applied linguistics. As data-collection is part and parcel to linguistic theories and methodology, a holistic approach (including both qualitative and quantitative paradigms) is adopted in the discussion and debate on what constitutes data, how it can be collected and analyzed in linguistic studies, and how it can be presented in writing. A high level of interaction to meet individual research needs is expected in the course.
