Ethics in Applied Linguistics Research: Language Researcher Narratives Peter De Costa, Michigan State University.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book explores how ethical issues are negotiated in different areas of language research, illustrating for graduate students in applied linguistics the ethical dilemmas they might encounter in the research methodology classroom and how they might be addressed. This volume serves to demystify the complex ethical decision-making process by its account of renowned researchers' ethical practices as they transpired on the ground and how they negotiated externally imposed research codes. The collection investigates and records the research practices of prominent international applied linguistics from a wide variety of sub disciplines, including discourse analysis, educational linguistics, heritage and minority education, language planning and policy, language and technology, literacy, second language acquisition, second and foreign language pedagogy and sociolinguistics. This book also puts front and center the urgency to prepare the next generation of applied linguist with the tools and knowledge necessary to conduct ethical research in an increasingly globalized and networked world.
