This is a bit of a time to reflect on where I am with my thinking. planning, reading and writing on the thesis paper. I need to complete the proposals for Woosong and the KOTESOL funding ASAP. I have an adequate enough plan of where I am heading, have- at least- a basic bibliography and framework.
I got my feet wet this week by doing 4 semi-structured interviews....They went fairly well....I was amazed at the fact that there were issues and explanation the interviewees brought up which opened new possibilities. I also continued to discuss the particulars of grounded research with Eric. I need to look into periodicals and articles by other topic subject headings: Avoidance, reluctance, etc, in the literature.
Beyond the field notes (this week's homework) and the readings, I feel like I got a bunch done. The research process is certainly proceeding forward....if not in a particularly linear traditional path.
I look forward to writing the proposals, interviewing more subjects (mostly waygookin next week) and digging into more literature.

Hey Carl, how are you doing? Good on you for doing that research. That is great that you are applying for the KOTESOL funding. I hope you get it. I hope to see you soon. Cheers, Chad
