“…Whether validating transcripts, analyses or interpretations, the traditional member‐checking methods primarily focus on accuracy (Glesne, 2006; Richards, 2003; Simpson & Quigley, 2016) implying that, if participants verify the truthfulness of their data and/or researchers' interpretations, the research can be deemed valid. Nevertheless, associating member checking with data accuracy contradicts the fundamental principles of the qualitative approach—subjectivity and its relational nature (Braun & Clarke, 2013; Kubanyiova, 2013). Both researchers and participants make judgments and interpretations based on their own experiences; researchers cannot simply describe their participants' experiences (Denzin, 2017).…”

Member checking is one of the key instruments ensuring the quality of qualitative research which is commonly associated with participants' approval of data accuracy. Considering multiple drawbacks of the traditional member‐checking methods, this article presents an alternative technique—diagrammatic elicitation. I illustrate how this approach was implemented in a study of six Armenian EFL teachers' self‐development and motivation. The data were collected in three phases over a period of 6 months using semi‐structured interviews, journal writing, and unstructured classroom observations followed by post‐observation interviews. I argue that diagrammatic elicitation makes member checking more participatory empowering participants and engaging them in the research process resulting in constructing the meaning with the researcher. Furthermore, it stimulates deeper reflections uncovering hidden aspects of participants' experiences leading to a more in‐depth understanding of the researched phenomenon which contribute to the quality of research.

“…TESOL researchers generally observe the core principles of justice, respect for persons, and yielding optimal benefits while minimizing harm when conducting research. Ethics can be examined from a variety of perspectives: quantitative vs. qualitative (Kono, ) and through macroethical and microethical lenses (Kubanyiova, ). Macroethics refer to the procedural ethics of institutional review boards (IRBs), ethics committees, and professional organizations; microethics engage with the everyday ethical dilemmas confronted by researchers.…”

This article provides research guidelines for authors intending to submit their manuscripts to TESOL Quarterly. These guidelines include information about the TESOL Quarterly review process, advice on converting a dissertation into a research article, broad introductions to a number of research methods, and a section on research ethics. The research methods discussed here are experimental research, survey research, ethnographic research, discourse analysis, and practitioner research. These are, of course, not the only methods that authors draw on for their submissions to TESOL Quarterly but ones we thought it would be helpful to provide advice on. Each of the sections on research methods includes a broad introduction to the method (or approach), a guide for preparing a manuscript using the particular method or approach, and an analysis of an article published in TESOL Quarterly using that method or approach.

Ethical Debates in Research on Language and Interaction

Abstract: When we talk about ethics in applied linguistics research, we typically refer to at least two distinct, albeit interrelated, areas: an ethical conduct in research involving human subjects and the moral ends of our research activity.
