Use the following questions and steps to structure this part of your proposal:
1. How do you plan to carry out your research?
2. How will you analyze your data?
3. What are the expected outcomes of your research and its implications for EFL?
Steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Ground your methodology in an accepted research paradigm (e.g., qualitative and\/or quantitative) and in an established tradition (e.g., ethnography, action research, grounded theory, practitioner research etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Align it against the relevant literature of that methodology. It may also be helpful to identify relevant literature from other disciplines (e.g., philosophy, sociology, 2 anthropology) that suggest critical approaches to analogous questions. Where relevant, provide a critical assessment of theoretical questions implicit in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Devise a preliminary schedule for the various stages of the dissertation project,
including time for research, writing, and revision of the manuscript. Where possible, indicate prospective chapters and the projected times for their completion. This schedule should reflect your best guesses regarding teaching and research support. You should expect that your chapter outline and the amount of time you need to devote to each section might change over the course of the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Include a list of primary and secondary sources you have used to date in designing your dissertation. In preliminary fashion, identify and describe key archival repositories and other anticipated source materials, both published and unpublished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
