Reflections on Qualitative Research in Language and Literacy Education

“This volume is one of the pioneering works in dealing with qualitative research within the realm of language and literacy studies. The editor has made a successful attempt to shed light on both theoretical and practical sides of qualitative inquiry. … this book has broken new grounds in qualitative research in language and literacy studies and is therefore a must-read for researcher in applied linguistics especially the ones with qualitative orientations.” (Mohsen Shirazizadeh, Applied Linguistics, Vol. 39 (05), October, 2018)​
