The Center for Language Acquisition is pleased to announce 2023 Penn State Workshop in Research Methods for Applied Linguists:  

Theory and pra ctice in interview research for applied linguists

Instructor: Kath ryn Roulston, University of Georgia

This workshop provides partici pants with a theoretically-informed guide to interview practice that wil l assist applied linguists to develop as reflective researchers who desi gn high quality research projects that use interviews. I invite research ers who use interviews and focus groups to consider the connections betw een theory and practice and critically examine how interview data are us ed to develop knowledge about the social world. The workshop will review an approach that entails researchers considering three interrelated iss ues—namely, how they theorize research interviews, reflect on thei r subject positions in relation to the project and participants, and exa mine the details of interview interaction to inform practice. The worksh op will address different theoretical conceptions of the research interv iew that underlie interviewing practice, including neo-positivist, roman tic, constructionist, transformative, postmodern, decolonizing and Indig enous and post qualitative approaches. The theoretical conceptualization of interview used by researchers has implications for how interviews ar e designed and conducted and how data are analyzed and represented. Part icipants will engage in practical activities that will encourage reflect ion concerning their relationships with participants and implications fo r research design; examine how interview data might be analyzed methodol ogically to inform research design; and discuss strategies used by quali tative researchers to demonstrate quality. Through developing sophistica ted understandings of qualitative interview practice, researchers positi on themselves to design and conduct quality research projects that provi de audience members and communities with significant findings concerning social problems.
