Bringing Life to Research: Life History Research and ESL.
Kouritzin, Sandra G.
TESL Canada Journal, v17 n2 p1-35 Spr 2000
Defines what is meant by life history research methodology and examines how it might benefit research in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). Looking at the benefits of life history research, explores how life histories in other fields and in previous research have shifted focus form the extraordinary to the mundane and from the universal to the singular.
