Use Discover to search for books, articles, and more through GALILEO. This kind of search casts a wide net; it's like Googling the library's resources. Sometimes you'll find exactly what you need, but sometimes plenty of unrelated items come up in your search.
A research study is a type of scholarly article that takes a query and seeks an answer through experimentation.

"This case study examines 16 years of cognitive development of two Japanese language teachers practicing computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and the challenges they experienced as a result of the evolution of information and communications technology (ICT)." "Narrative inquiry data for both participants were collected following the Trajectory Equifinality Approach (e.g., Valsiner & Sato, 2006), in which each teacher’s life trajectory is visualized to identify critical points based on social affordances and constraints. The critical points were further analyzed and interpreted within and between activity systems." Link to article |
"Most research up to now has been descriptive in nature" "In addition, a few studies have directly explored ‘learning’ through the microanalysis of longitudinal data for any changes in the learners’ linguistic and interactional patterns of engagement. The review of studies is followed by those challenges that affect the implementation of CA in CALL research and a vision of the future of CA for CALL in the larger field of Applied Linguistics."
