| Abstract: | Undergraduate Studies of English Language and Literature, are attending the course of The Basics of Research Methods and Techniques in ELT and Linguistics (Further on referred to as BRMT in ELT and L), a course of a mandatory status! It comes just on the right time, as all of you have graduated from various schools, and in a way is mature as to what your research interests are defined and what actually you are interested to research. It is an educational point where you have shaped yourself as an English teacher and why not as a Linguist, who has a crystal clear view to the phenomena he/she would like to research, focusing both fields, i.e. Linguistics and ESL. This is exactly my lecturing focus regarding this particular course, to get you to know better the course structure as well as its aims and objectives. So, congratulations and 'welcome to the club.' In college, especially as undergraduates, we learn knowledge or knowing, but we also learn action or doing. For example, in drama depart ments, students learn the history of the theater (knowing), but they also learn how to put on a play (doing). In second language teaching there is the same relationship between knowing things and doing things (Dunne & Pen dlebury, 2003). Our knowing includes how language is processed and how it is acquired; our doing includes teaching and answering questions. My approach to research is that we should not concentrate on doing things to the point that we forget that doing is ultimately based on knowing. |
