      Course Research in Language Education/ English Languages Classroom Research by Wiwik Mardiana

      Hello Students! Greetings from Mojokerto-East Java and Bima-NTB, Indonesia. Hope you find this well. In this course, we have an opportunity to have a collaborative teaching and learning and in an online or hybrid mode. We encourage you all to actively participate in the discussion in both synchronous and asynchronous mode. 

      This course provides students with information on the scopes of research on English language classrooms focusing on Classroom Action Research and Qualitative research. Materials cover types of studies commonly conducted to investigate phenomena in English language classrooms, their characteristics and steps in conducting each type of study. Students’ classroom activities include individual work and group work. Evaluation on students’ achievement is based on classroom and e-learning forum discussion participation, the mid-semester test, and the final test.  

      ENJOY!!! approveheart

    Nice to see you again! We hope that you will enjoy the course and actively participate in both synchronous and asynchronous mode.

  • Meeting 3

    The terms, approaches & characteristics 

     ---♥Hi.. welcome to the 3rd meeting! It's always great to see you again♥---
    We hope that you will enjoy the course and actively participate in both synchronous and asynchronous mode.

    In the realm of academic research, understanding the foundational terms, approaches, and characteristics is essential for any researcher embarking on a study. These elements form the framework that guides the research process from conception to conclusion. The terms refer to key concepts and definitions that shape the language of research, such as variables, hypotheses, and methodologies. Approaches define the strategies and methods a researcher employs to explore a problem, typically categorized into qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods approaches. Each of these approaches carries distinct philosophies and techniques for data collection and analysis. Finally, the characteristics of research, such as objectivity, reliability, validity, and ethical considerations, ensure that studies are conducted with rigor and integrity.

  • Meeting 4

    The Starting Point to conduct research

        ♥ Hi...Welcome to the 4th meeting!♥

    Here is an image representing the key steps involved in the starting point to conduct research. It visually shows the flow from identifying a research topic, conducting a literature review, formulating a research question, setting research objectives, to planning and designing the study.

  • Meeting 5

    Developing Research Questions

    heartHello everyone,Welcome to our fifth meeting in this course! heart


    I hope you're all doing well and have been finding the material engaging and helpful so far. We're halfway through our course, and I can see how committed each of you has been, so keep up the great work! Today, we’re going to dive deeper into "Developing Research Questions". As always, feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts in the chat or discussion forum. Your active participation makes these sessions even more valuable.

    Let’s continue making progress together! I'm looking forward to seeing how you apply what you've learned so far.

    • --Before reading the following slides, make sure that you have watched and answered the questions in the previous activities.--

      heart Good research links the purpose statement and questions to major results. To write good purpose statements and research questions, we will begin with some concepts that you need to know, and then establish the building blocks for writing these statements and questions into a study. The following slides describes the concepts of research questions and how to formulate them.heart

  • Meeting 6

    Review of Literature & utilizing AI for literature review

    Review of Literature is a crucial part of the research process that involves gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing previous studies or literature related to a specific topic. The main purpose of a literature review is to understand the existing knowledge in a field, identify research gaps, and provide a theoretical basis for the new study. In the digital age, utilizing AI for literature review has become highly beneficial for accelerating and enhancing this process.

    • The following slides are the explanation of the topic related to "Reviewing A Literature & Utilizing AI" that will be discussed in the synchronous mode (Zoom Meeting). There is a slight difference between the previous video and the following slides.  Check this out and hope you get the point as well.

    Research focus & variables

     heartHello students!Welcome to the 7th meeting!Hope you are doing well!heart

    In research, having a clear focus and well-defined variables is essential for producing meaningful, accurate, and replicable findings. A well-defined research focus ensures that a study remains on track, relevant, and appropriately scoped, while clearly identified variables provide the framework for systematic, replicable, and valid measurement of concepts. Together, these components are essential to the integrity and success of research.
