Research Methods in Foreign Language Education – Complete Course Resource Package is a comprehensive digital resource designed to accompany Selami Aydın’s Research Methods in Foreign Language Education.
The package follows the structure of the book across all 15 chapters and provides a clear, organized pathway through the major stages of research in foreign language education, from understanding the foundations of research and developing research questions to selecting research designs, collecting and analyzing data, writing the research paper, and considering the roles of technology and artificial intelligence in contemporary research.
The materials are designed for university instructors, undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and anyone seeking a structured introduction to research methods in foreign language education, English Language Teaching, applied linguistics, and related fields.
The PowerPoint presentations can be used in face-to-face, online, or blended courses. Instructors may use them as ready-to-teach classroom materials, while students may use them to review key concepts, follow the progression of a research methods course, and support independent study.
Rather than treating research methodology as a collection of isolated definitions and procedures, the package emphasizes the connections among research problems, research questions, design, evidence, analysis, interpretation, and claims.
Each chapter presentation follows the main content of the corresponding book chapter and integrates the book’s Reflection Questions, Research Tasks, and Continuing Research Project. These components encourage users to move from understanding methodological concepts toward applying them to realistic research situations.
The package includes 15 PowerPoint presentations aligned with all 15 chapters of the book, a Course Syllabus and Curriculum Guide, an Instructor Guide, chapter-based Reflection Questions, chapter-based Research Tasks, and a progressive Continuing Research Project.
The presentations cover the complete progression of the book, including the foundations and dimensions of research, preparation and planning, literature review, qualitative, descriptive, correlational, multivariate, and experimental designs, data collection, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, research writing, technology, and artificial intelligence.
The accompanying Course Syllabus and Curriculum Guide provides a suggested 15-week course structure, learning outcomes, teaching flow, assessment framework, and guidance for integrating the continuing research project into the course.
The Instructor Guide provides practical guidance on how the materials can be used and adapted according to course duration, student level, institutional requirements, and teaching context.
The continuing project allows learners to progressively develop a possible research study through stages such as research idea, research problem, research question, literature rationale, research design, data collection plan, analysis plan, writing plan, technology plan, AI use plan, and final research proposal.
This developmental approach helps learners understand research as an iterative process in which earlier decisions may be reconsidered and refined as methodological understanding develops.
The package is intended to support, not replace, the book. The presentations provide structure, visual organization, and classroom or study support, while the book provides the fuller conceptual, methodological, and explanatory foundation.
A free sample presentation is available separately on the website for users who would like to preview the format and structure before purchasing the complete package.
The package is delivered as a digital download in a single ZIP file for digital download and is suitable for instructors, undergraduate students, master’s students, doctoral students, researchers, teacher educators, and independent learners interested in research methodology in foreign language education and related disciplines.
