Abstract

Grounded theory constitutes research methodology commonly used in the field of social sciences to investigate social phenomena. This research methodology, however, has rarely been used in the field of second/foreign language education. Given that second/foreign language education may be viewed as a social activity and certain issues in second/foreign language education may be studied from social science perspectives, the present article surveys key literature on grounded theory. The goal is to help second/foreign language researchers assess the potential of this research methodology and, where applicable, employ this methodology for studying relevant issues in the field of second/foreign language education. After a brief introduction, the article offers a historical review of grounded theory to provide a context for understanding of what grounded theory is and how it has evolved into distinct methodological designs. The philosophical paradigms underlying grounded theory are then described, and information of how those paradigms typically guide research practices in the field of social sciences is presented. Finally, criticisms that have been levelled against grounded theory are outlined so that L2 researchers are aware of any limitations of this research methodology and, if possible, find a way to cope with those limitations when employing grounded theory in their studies. The article concludes with an argument that despite those limitations, L2 researchers should not feel reluctant to employ this research methodology in their studies, especially when the research problem is best approached through employing this research methodology.
