Here are the key points about second language classroom research (SLCR) based on the questions: - SLCR examines teaching and learning processes in real second language classrooms. It aims to understand how languages are learned and taught in these naturalistic settings. - SLCR derives its data from experimental classrooms where teachers implement certain techniques or activities while researchers observe and collect data on learning processes and outcomes. - SLCR examines issues from both teacher-focused and learner-focused perspectives. Teacher research looks at instructional practices while learner research focuses on acquisition processes. - SLCR is carried out within other subdisciplines like applied linguistics, education, and psychology. It adopts methods from these fields to study classroom phenomena

6. Why do Research in the L2 Contexts?
 To acquire solid basis to carry out a
practitioner research in l2 context
 To reflect in my own learning process
 To orient my own teaching practice

9. Research Paradigms in the L2 Contexts
Ellis, R. 2012
FORMAL PRACTITIONER
 Conducted by an external
researcher
 It can be motivated by
theoretical or pedagogical
issues
 Conducted by teachers in
their own classroom.
 It is motivated by
pedagogic concerns and
enables teachers to solve
problems
