Abstract (Research on going)<\/b><\/p>

In the second seminar about the on-going research project on language learning in Bruneian classrooms, we present the innovative research methodology adapted to investigate how learners and teachers perceive the language classroom. The aim of the project is to examine causes of success and failure in English language classrooms. The method employed in this project emerged from personal construct theory in the field of Psychology in the 1960s. Since then, repertory grids have been widely used in many areas of social science research and increasingly in educational research but they have not been used to research language teachers\u2019 and learners\u2019 constructs of the language learning classroom. We explain the rationale for adopting this methodology for the language learning classroom before moving on to a demonstration of how repertory grids can be used to explore the views of learners and teachers. Please come and join us for another hands-on workshop of \u201cbrain-picking\u201d as we demonstrate how personal constructs are elicited from grouping \u2018elements\u2019 which can offer insight into how learners and teachers make sense of their classroom environment. We will finish by showing how the grids are coded, grouped and clustered into charts for data analysis. (Research funded by a LC\/SHBIE faculty block grant)<\/i><\/p>
