The research process forms the backbone of any rigorous scientific investigation. Understanding its fundamental
stages is essential for conducting effective and credible research projects, especially in the field of language
didactics.
The first chapter of this Lecture offers a detailed exploration of the main phases of the research process, from formulating a
research problem to analyzing the results. It provides students with the essential foundation to design, plan, and
evaluate a methodical research project.
The second chapter explores the different research methods available to scholars, with a focus on qualitative,
quantitative, and mixed methods approaches. Research methods refer to the specific strategies and tools used
to collect, analyze, and interpret data in order to answer a research question. Each method has its own
strengths, procedures, and types of data it handles.
