Research MethodologyAssignment: Topic 1Question 1: Outline the Steps/Process of Conducting a Scientific Research Project
Trang 4Conducting a scientific research project involves a structured process that allows researchers to systematically explore, investigate, and arrive at conclusions about a specific topic The following steps outline the general sequence in which a research project should be conducted:
Identifying the Research ProblemThe first step in any research process is to identify and define the research problem.The research problem is the issue or question that the researcher seeks to resolve or
investigate In language studies, for example, this could involve exploring a linguistic phenomenon, understanding the impact of new language learning methods, or studying cultural influences on language use A well-defined research problem sets the foundation for the entire research process
Formulating Research Questions or HypothesesOnce the problem is identified, the next step is to formulate specific research questions or hypotheses A research question is the central question that guides the investigation, while a hypothesis is a predictive statement that the research seeks to proveor disprove For example, in a study on the effectiveness of online English learning platforms, a research question could be: "How do online platforms influence the speakingskills of non-native English speakers?"
Literature ReviewBefore proceeding with data collection, researchers must review existing literature on the topic This involves examining previous studies, theories, and data related to the research problem The literature review helps to identify gaps in knowledge, avoid duplication of research, and provide a theoretical framework for the study This step is essential as it situates the research within the context of existing knowledge
Designing the Research MethodologyThe methodology outlines the specific procedures that will be used to collect and analyze data Researchers choose qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods approaches depending on the research objectives In a study on language acquisition, for example, quantitative methods might involve surveys and tests, while qualitative methods might include interviews and focus groups The choice of methodology should align with the research questions and the type of data required
Data Collection
Trang 5After designing the methodology, researchers collect data that will help answer the research questions Data collection can be done through various methods, including experiments, observations, surveys, interviews, or using secondary data from existing sources In a language research project, this might involve gathering data from language learners through tests or questionnaires, or observing classroom behavior.
Data AnalysisOnce data has been collected, it must be analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions Researchers use statistical methods, content analysis, or other analytical techniques
depending on whether the data is qualitative or quantitative For example, in a study of student motivation in language learning, quantitative data might be analyzed using statistical software to identify trends, while qualitative data might be coded and analyzed for recurring themes
Interpreting ResultsAfter analysis, researchers interpret the findings in relation to the original research questions or hypotheses This step involves making sense of the data and determining whether it supports the hypotheses or answers the research questions Researchers also consider the implications of their findings for the field of study, as well as any limitationsof their research that might affect the validity or generalizability of the results
Writing the Research ReportThe final step is to write a comprehensive research report This document should present the research problem, objectives, methodology, data collection and analysis, and conclusions The report should also discuss the implications of the findings and make recommendations for future research The structure of the report typically follows a standard format: introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion
Question 2: Example of a Research Project in English LinguisticsTo illustrate the above steps, let's consider a specific research project in the field ofEnglish linguistics: "The Impact of English as a Global Lingua Franca on Non-Native Speakers' Language Learning Motivation."
Identifying the Research ProblemIn this project, the researcher seeks to explore how the global status of English affects the motivation of non-native speakers to learn the language English has become a
Trang 6global lingua franca, and this study investigates whether this influences learners' enthusiasm or interest in mastering the language.
Formulating Research QuestionsThe main research question could be: "To what extent does the status of English as a global language influence the motivation of non-native speakers to learn English?" Additional sub-questions might include:
Does the global importance of English positively or negatively affect learners’ attitudes towards language learning?
Are learners more motivated by the desire to communicate with native speakers or with other non-native speakers?
Literature ReviewThe researcher would review existing literature on language motivation, focusing on studies about English as a global language Key theories, such as Gardner’s socio-educational model of second language acquisition or Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System, would be examined to provide a theoretical framework for the study
Research MethodologyThe study could employ a mixed-methods approach Quantitative data might be collected through a questionnaire distributed to non-native English learners, measuring their motivation levels Qualitative data could be gathered through in-depth interviews with a smaller group of participants to understand their personal experiences and attitudestowards learning English as a lingua franca
Data CollectionData collection would involve distributing questionnaires to a group of 100 non-native English speakers, asking questions about their motivation, attitudes, and learning goals In addition, 10 participants would be interviewed to provide qualitative insights into their learning experiences
Data AnalysisThe quantitative data from the questionnaires would be analyzed using statistical methods, such as calculating mean motivation scores and performing correlation analysis to determine relationships between motivation and specific factors (e.g., global status of English) The qualitative interview data would be analyzed thematically, identifying key themes such as "communication with non-native speakers" and "future career prospects."
Trang 7Interpreting ResultsThe analysis might reveal that learners are highly motivated by the global importance of English and the opportunities it offers for communication and career advancement However, some participants might express that learning English is more of a necessity than a personal interest, indicating a more extrinsic form of motivation.
Writing the Research ReportThe final report would be structured as follows:Introduction: An overview of the research problem and the significance of studyingmotivation in language learning
Literature Review: A review of relevant theories and previous studies on language learning motivation and English as a global language
Methodology: A detailed description of the mixed-methods approach, including thedesign of the questionnaire and interview protocol
Results: A presentation of the quantitative and qualitative findings.Discussion: An interpretation of the findings in light of the research questions and the implications for language teaching practices
Conclusion: A summary of the research findings, their significance, and suggestions for future research

Question 2: Example of a Research Proposal on a Specific Topic in English Linguistics
To illustrate the components of a research proposal, let's create one based on the following topic:
"The Influence of Social Media on English Language Learning Among VietnameseUniversity Students."
TitleThe Influence of Social Media on English Language Learning Among Vietnamese University Students
Introduction
Trang 10The rise of social media has revolutionized how people communicate, including how they learn languages Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have become popular among university students for language learning, offering opportunities for informal language practice and exposure to English content This study seeks to explore how Vietnamese university students use social media to enhance their English language skills and the extent to which these platforms impact their learning motivation and proficiency.
Research ObjectivesThe objectives of this research are:To assess how frequently and for what purposes Vietnamese students use social media to learn English
To evaluate the impact of social media on students' motivation to improve their English skills
To identify the most commonly used social media platforms for language learning and the features that contribute to language acquisition
Research QuestionsHow do Vietnamese university students use social media to enhance their English language learning?
What is the relationship between social media usage and students' motivation to improve their English skills?
Which social media platforms are most effective for supporting English language learning, and why?
Literature ReviewSeveral studies have examined the role of digital technologies in language learning,focusing on how online platforms facilitate informal learning environments Previous research has indicated that social media offers students opportunities to practice languageskills outside of traditional classroom settings, promoting both motivation and language retention However, few studies have specifically examined the role of social media in thecontext of Vietnamese learners of English This study seeks to fill this gap by
investigating the impact of social media on English language acquisition in Vietnam
Key theories, such as Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System and the Social Learning Theory, will be applied to understand how online interactions influence
