Writing Issues in Academic Research

The intention of the paper is to understand the problems that may occur when dealing with a research relating to Bilingualism. In this perspective, the research is to conduct an exploratory survey using qualitative method to collect data. This will be followed by the analysis of the data and will be used to build hypotheses. This information will be then used to design a quantitative survey to test the hypotheses. The researcher will then distribute this quantitative survey, collect the data analyze them and build the theory.

An exploratory study is used when the research problem is vague, or when the first one gives explanations appear unclear or ...
