1. 1. IMPORTANCE OF CASE STUDY RESEARCH IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS
1.1. ACCESSIBILITY AND CLARITY OF THE CASE STUDY APPROACH
1.1.1. CASE STUDIES ALLOW US TO ANALYZE SPECIFIC PHENOMENA WITHIN A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, WHICH MAKES THE COMPLEXITIES OF SOCIAL AND LANGUAGE RELATED INTERACTIONS VISIBLE
1.2. ANALYSIS OF SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF PHENOMENA
1.2.1. FOCUS ON SPECIFIC CONTEXTS
1.2.1.1. CASE STUDIES FOCUS ON SPECIFIC CONTEXTS TO ANALYZE LINGUISTIC AND SOCIAL PHENOMENA
1.2.2. DEPTH OF ANALYSIS
1.2.2.1. CASE STUDIES OFFER A DEPTH OF ANALYSIS THAT ALLOWS TO UNDERSTAND IN DETAIL THE PHENOMENA STUDIED
1.3. CAPTURING INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES THROUGH NARRATIVE
1.3.1. CASE STUDIES USE NARRATIVE TO CAPTURE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES, WHICH ENRICHES THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENA STUDIED
2. 2. METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN IN CASE STUDIES
2.1. NEED FOR A RELEVANT THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1.1. CASE STUDIES REQUIRE A RELEVANT THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE THE RESEARCH
2.2. SELECTION OF CASES AND FORMULATION OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS
2.2.1. CAREFUL SELECTION OF CASES AND FORMULATION OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL IN CASE STUDIES
2.3. STUDY JUSTIFICATION
2.3.1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO JUSTIFY THE CASE STUDY TO DEMONSTRATE ITS RELEVANCE AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIELD OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS
3. 3. ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION OF RESULTS IN CASE STUDIES
3.1. CONSISTENT AND CONVINCING PRESENTATION OF THE FINDINGS
3.1.1. CASE STUDIES SHOULD PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS IN A CONSISTENT AND CONVINCING MANNER TO INCREASE THEIR CREDIBILITY
3.2. IMPORTANCE OF EVIDENCE AND CASE REPRESENTATION
3.2.1. EVIDENCE AND CASE REPRESENTATION ARE KEY TO SUPPORTING CASE STUDY RESULTS
3.3. ETHICS IN CASE STUDY RESEARCH
3.3.1. ETHICS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED IN CASE STUDY RESEARCH, INCLUDING TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE RESEARCHER'S POSITION AND IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES STUDIED
4. 4. DIVERSITY OF APPROACHES IN CASE STUDIES
4.1. NARRATIVE APPROACHES IN CASE STUDIES
4.1.1. CASE STUDIES THEY CAN USE DIFFERENT NARRATIVE APPROACHES, SUCH AS AUTOETHNOGRAPHY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY, TO ENRICH THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF PARTICIPANTS' EXPERIENCES
4.2. QUALITY CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING CASE STUDIES
4.2.1. CASE STUDIES CAN BE EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF CRITERIA SUCH AS RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC, RIGOR, CREDIBILITY AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIELD OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS
4.3. FORMS OF REPRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS IN CASE STUDIES
4.3.1. CASE STUDIES CAN USE DIFFERENT FORMS OF REPRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS, SUCH AS CROSS CASE ANALYSIS AND NARRATIVE APPROACHES, TO ADDRESS GAPS IN LITERATURE EXISTING
5. 5. EXAMPLES OF CASE STUDIES IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS
5.1. LINGUISTIC IDENTIFY IN MULTILINGUAL CONTEXTS
5.1.1. CASE STUDIES HAVE EXPLORED LINGUISTIC IDENTIFY IN MULTILINGUAL CONTEXTS THROUGH THE RESEARCH OF SPECIFIC CASES
5.2. SOCIALIZATION IN MULTILINGUAL CONTEXTS
5.2.1. CASE STUDIES THEY HAVE INVESTIGATED THE SOCIALIZATION IN CONTEXTS MULTILINGUAL THROUGH FROM THE EXPLORATION OF INDIVIDUAL CASES AND COLLECTIVES
6. 6. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE OF CASE STUDY RESEARCH
6.1. LEGITIMACY OF CASE STUDIES IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS
6.1.1. CASE STUDIES HAVE GAINED LEGITIMACY IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS RESEARCH AND THEIR USE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO GROW IN THE 21ST CENTURY
6.2. KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND MOBILIZATION THROUGH CASE STUDIES
6.2.1. CASE STUDIES ARE AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND MOBILIZATION IN THE FIELD OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS
