Recent MA Research at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi

Abstract

As many readers know, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTI) offers an MA in Applied Linguistics. One of the requirements of the program is that participants complete a 6-credit classroom-based research project for which the research is conducted during teaching practice either at KMUTI or ot a local secondary school. The classroom-based research, which follows the principles of action research outlined by Allwright & Bailey (1991) and Nunan (1993), is frequently of such value that it deserves a wider audience than that normally accorded to an MA project.
