Table 1 Methodological approaches for studying question-posing anxiety.
From: A qualitative study of question-posing anxiety in Chinese postgraduates in UK TESOL programs
Approach | Suitability for current study | Limitations addressed |
|---|---|---|
Phenomenological | Captures lived experience in depth | Avoids reductionism of quantitative methods |
Grounded Theory | Focuses on theory generation | Less appropriate for experiential focus |
Case Study | Provides contextual richness | Typically examines fewer cases |
