ReSIG: Conceptualising practitioners’ online research in the COVID-19 era

An IATEFL Research SIG webinar presented by Dr Christina Nicole Giannikas

COVID-19 has propelled practitioners’ research to the forefront of public attention as the shift to teaching online has brought about new challenges as well as opportunities. Practitioners’ research has become more important than ever before since the likelihood that the collective knowledge of the ELT community can help advance the new norms of teaching practices in these troubled times. Nonetheless, issues such as ethical concerns, sharing findings, and data collection methods when conducting research in an e-learning context have come to the surface. In this webinar, I will offer:

  1. a rubric for considering the ethical challenges in online ELT research, in the form of an ethics toolkit,
  2. suggestions on how to best disseminate research findings so as to make an impact, and
  3. recommendations on how to use online data collection tools effectively.

The webinar will conclude with some practical ideas and considerations for online ELT research.
