“…The researchers in these articles used surveys followed by face to face interviews to collect data. Mixed research method has been used in the TESOL research for decades (Mirhosseini, 2018). This research approach allows researchers to combine qualitative and quantitative methodologies in the data collection and analysis processes.…”

This paper provides a systematic review of the research around teaching English as a second or foreign language over the last ten years. The review aims to help second and foreign language researchers to recognize the trends that have impacted English teaching and learning research. More than 400 articles from four leading journals (TESOL Journal, TESOL Quarterly, ELT Journal, and Second Language Research) were reviewed to examine the trends and method that were used. The findings suggested that the research interests in the TESOL field have changed as many topics and trends have risen based on students’ academic and social needs. Topics such as teaching methodology, digital literacy, and using technology to teach English have dominated the research during the last decade.

“…I have reiterated the call for more (socio)linguistic research with a conscious pragmatic approach with MMR framework as it can foster more collaborative and creative research (Angouri 2010;Hashemi and Babaii 2013;Riazi 2016;Blaxter and Kinn 2018;Mirhosseini 2018;Azul and Neuschaefer-Rube 2019;Bacon 2020). I have also demonstrated how English sociophonetic research with a focus on non-binary speakers or the perception of non-binary speakers, has benefited from this framework, in whole or in part.…”

“…Linguists across subdisciplines have called for mixed method research (MMR) in sociolinguistics (Angouri 2010;Blaxter and Kinn 2018), applied linguistics (Hashemi and Babaii 2013;Riazi 2016;Mirhosseini 2018;Bacon 2020) and voice therapy research (Azul and Neuschaefer-Rube 2019). Angouri (2010: 30) notes that "[i]t is still quite common however for the two paradigms [qualitative and quantitative] to be directly contrasted".…”

Mixed methods research (MMR) based in a pragmatic research philosophy involves the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods to triangulate research findings and strengthen interpretations. This especially holds for complex research questions and/or data. Non-binary focused sociolinguistic research often deals with multiple complexities, including dynamic and contextually dependent ways of identifying and variation in body modification affecting speech production. While echoing prior calls for researchers to apply, when appropriate, a pragmatic/MMR framework (Angouri 2010), I uniquely argue that it can empower non-binary researchers and research collaborators, ultimately generating positive social change. My objective in presenting non-binary focused sociophonetic research is to demonstrate the framework’s advantages. These include foregrounding non-binary voices and experiences to generate rich, nuanced research questions, data, and analyses. These elements, as well as demonstrable ecological validity and multiple (collaborative and/or cross-discipline) perspectives are the hallmarks of transformative research which focuses on fostering social change.

“…It takes relatively longer time to collect and analyze data. Recently, Mirhosseini (2017) has problematized the confusion of the epistemological aspect in mixed methods research [43]. In mixed methods research, objective measurement is in the positivist epistemological position; whereas, contextual meaning making is the aim of qualitative research (Denzin & Lincoln, 2007) in the interpretivist-constructivist position (Mirhosseini, 2017) [43][44][45].…”

Mirhosseini's (2017) claim is that "epistemological incompatibility" [43, p. 5] in the recently published research, such as Hashemi's (2012) and Riazi and Candlin's (2014), is not convincing.…”

Adopting a Mixed Method Needs Analysis for CALL Research

This paper discusses arguments on necessitating needs analysis with mixed methods in computer-assisted language learning (CALL). CALL researchers argue that a lack of technology integration planning hinders using technology effectively in schools. This would be because teachers may not be wellprepared regarding the use of technology leadership and integration, calling for needs analysis. The purpose of this paper is to examine the definition of needs, potentials and challenges of using mixed methods to develop needs analyses and concludes with the considerations of needs analysis with mixed methods in CALL research.
