Chapter 1Introduction
This introductory chapter is organized into two
sections. The first section, the introduction, discusses
research methodology in Applied Linguistics (AL), considering
recent methodological debates. Each of the methodologies
included in this volume is presented in two chapters, a
theoretical and a showcase practical chapter. The second
section, therefore, provides a synopsis of each of the chapters.
The two sections of the introductory chapter provide a context
for the readers so that they develop a general idea of what will
follow in the body of the book.
