About the Book

This book focuses on ethical and methodological issues faced by researchers working with young language learners in formal school contexts. It uncovers and explicitly discusses a range of ethical dilemmas, challenges and experiences that researchers have encountered and grappled with, in studies of all kinds from large scale, experimental studies to ethnographic studies focused on just a handful of children. The chapters are written by researchers working with children in different classroom contexts around the world and highlight how ethical dilemmas and tensions take on a complex form in child-focused research, requiring researchers to pay particular attention to the social and cultural norms of the different communities within which children are educated as well as their school-based experiences. The book comprises three sections, with the first part focused on involving children as active participants in research; part two on ethical challenges in multilingual contexts and part three on links between teacher education and researching children. The book includes a critical discussion of the opportunities and challenges associated with applying the UNCRC (1989) document in second language research with children which will be of use to any researcher working in this area.

Review :
The book is an excellent resource for anyone contemplating research focused on young linguistically diverse learners, and those in multilingual classrooms. Not only are readers given critical insights into issues of social justice, marginalisation and ethics to guide the research process but children’s rights are also highlighted for a better understanding of possible areas for concern. This book is a true gift and indispensable reading. How do young children become co-investigators of their own language education? What are the legal, cultural, and ethical ramifications of such a change, across different countries and continents? Readers are in for a fascinating journey that will make them rethink the very notions of ‘childhood’ and of ‘research'. With contributions from nine countries, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the ethical and methodological challenges faced by researchers when they work with young language learners. Each chapter bristles with insights that are as relevant to teaching and learning as they are to research. Essential reading for language teachers, teacher educators and student teachers. This book offers a thoughtful and practical consideration of a range of issues around research with children in a school context [...] This is a thought-provoking and practical book that will be useful for teachers and researchers at all levels, and is one for every higher education institution's library.
