It discusses the different types of data and research that can be used in applied linguistics investigations, including: 1. Quantitative data - data expressed numerically 2. Qualitative data - spoken or written narrative data 3. Language data - language samples for analysis 4. Quantitative research - uses numerical data and statistical analysis 5. Qualitative research - uses open-ended data and non-statistical analysis 6. Mixed methods research - combines numerical and non-numerical data or analysis.

Directions: Read the following sentences and complete them with the one word that best matches each of them. The words are not given; you are supposed to remember these concepts of which much has been said in our research class.

1. In the most profound sense it simply means trying to find answers to questions, an activity every one of us does all the time to learn more about the world around us. ______________________ 2. We can find answers to questions in two ways. You can do a ______________________ investigation when you revise what other people have said about a particular issue; or you can do a ______________________ investigation when you conduct it yourself and collect information to draw some conclusion from it. In applied linguistics investigations we can find three main types of primary data: 3. This kind of data is most commonly expressed in numbers (for example, the score of a language aptitude test or the number of times a student volunteers in class). ______________________ 4. It usually involves recorded spoken data (for example, interview data) that is transcribed to textual form as well as written (field) notes and documents of various sorts. ______________________ 5. This kind of data involves language samples of various lengths, elicited from the respondent primarily for the purpose of language analysis (for example, a recorded language task or a solicited student essay that is to be submitted to discourse analysis). ______________________ These are three types of research 6. It involves data collection procedures that resultprimarily in numerical data which is then analysed primarily by statistical methods. Typical example: survey research using a questionnaire, analysed by statistical software. ______________________ 7. It involves data collection procedures that result primarily in open-ended, non-numerical data which is then analysed primarily by non-statistical methods. Typical example: interview research, with the transcribed recordings analysed by qualitative content analysis. ______________________ 8. They involve different combinations of numerical or non-numerical data either at the data collection or at the analysis levels. ______________________
