“…As explained by Moreira (2018), the researcher has the key role to make a critical reflection in order to identify the study's limitations and describe them, providing the reader with a better comprehension as to how the knowledge was built, which factors influenced such development and how these influences may have interfered in the research's planning, development and issue unveiling. Thus, this study showed how the qualitative research has been introduced in Qualis A journals in Brazil at the same time it highlighted its main characteristics, enabling the reader to infer limitations as how these studies are developed, as explained by Lanka et al (2020), who state that the qualitative research on organizational studies enables a deeper human comprehension due to the breakdown of collected data and is a source of more different points of view to be included in the decision-taking processes.…”

“…Some categories were considered, such as: the number of Qualis A articles on organizational studies with a qualitative methodology, the authors' geographical area according to the universities they are linked to, authors with the highest number of articles published on organizational studies, theme areas, and most cited key words, among others. Thus, it is possible to envision the value of a qualitative research through its capability to bring in different perspectives about a certain context (Lanka et al, 2020).…”

Objective: To review literature on organizational studies with a qualitative methodology in Qualis A journals in Brazil from 2015 to 2020. Methods: This is a quantitative-descriptive study that used the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) database for article search. The sample encompasses 163 studies. Results: most publishing authors are linked to teaching institutions in Southern and Southeastern Brazil; the study determined that most of these studies either used data descriptive analysis or didn't inform the type of study. As for collection methods, most of them used document analysis and a semi-structured interview. Concerning the analysis techniques, content analysis prevailed. Conclusion: in the last two years there has been a decline in the number of articles published. Furthermore, there has been the presence of articles that don't inform basic data such as nature and type of study, which hampers a more accurate identification of each one of them. The study significantly contributes to bibliometric techniques that show how useful the research can be for the discovery of scientific production in the qualitative area.

“…According to Yilmaz (2013), the interpretive paradigm makes it possible to investigate social phenomena that are closely connected and complex. This is because the interpretivist paradigm allows researchers to obtain knowledge through a detailed description of the phenomenon in question (Lanka et al, 2020). The researcher chose the interpretivist paradigm in order to study the complex phenomenon of the intercultural skills that educators need to develop and how to develop them, and thus to answer the research questions appropriately.…”

This study sought to understand how teachers of Maltese as a foreign language (MFL) develop intercultural capabilities by exploring the importance of intercultural competence to MFL teachers, the characteristics of interculturally competent MFL educators, and how educators develop intercultural competence. The study adopted the interpretivist paradigm and a case study research design to collect qualitative data. Seventeen MFL teachers of adult learners were purposefully selected and interviewed. Findings regarding the perceptions of the teachers who were interviewed are as follows. Firstly, the participants stated that intercultural competence is important for MFL teachers because it helps them to embrace diversity, to help adult learners to learn the target language (i.e. Maltese) better, and to be sensitive and accommodative to learners from different backgrounds. Secondly, according to the participants, an interculturally capable person is one who knows their own culture and others’ cultural aspects, respects and accepts other cultures. It was also found that teachers develop intercultural capabilities through learning at a school and by visiting other countries and being immersed in the cultures of those countries. The implications of the findings as supported by existing literature, are that intercultural competence is important for foreign language teachers and as a result, intercultural training, learning through interactions with others and visits to other countries are necessary to develop intercultural capabilities.

“…They therefore collect data using real-life (qualitative) approaches like observation, interviews, reflective sessions, text messages and discourse (Kivunja & Kuyini, 2017). The interpretivist paradigm allows researchers to obtain knowledge through a detailed description of the phenomenon in question (Lanka, Lanka, Rostron, & Singh, 2020). The researcher chose the interpretivist paradigm to study the complex phenomenon of the intercultural skills that educators need to develop or already developed and to investigate the teachers' perceptions towards IC.…”

This study sought to understand how teachers of Maltese as a foreign language (MFL) develop intercultural capabilities by exploring the importance of intercultural competence (IC) to MFL teachers, the characteristics of interculturally competent MFL educators, and the ways in which educators develop IC. The study adopted the interpretivist paradigm and a case study research design to collect qualitative data. Seventeen MFL teachers of adult learners were purposefully selected because they all taught MFL to non-native adults. These educators were interviewed, by answering the researcher’s ten unstructured questions. A smartphone was used to record the interviewees. Findings regarding the perceptions of the teachers who were interviewed are as follows. Firstly, the participants stated that IC is important for MFL teachers because it helps them to embrace diversity, to help adult learners to learn the target language (i.e. Maltese) better, and to be sensitive and accommodative to learners from different backgrounds. Secondly, according to the participants, an interculturally capable person is one who knows their own culture and others’ cultural aspects, respects and accepts other cultures. It was also found that teachers develop intercultural capabilities through learning at a school and by visiting other countries and being immersed in the cultures of those countries. The implications of the findings as supported by existing literature, are that IC is important for foreign language teachers and as a result, intercultural training, learning through interactions with others and visits to other countries are necessary to develop intercultural capabilities.
