Researchers

We invite applications from researchers seeking to utilize Chasing Time English (CTE) materials for research projects exploring the opportunities offered by dramatic video for second language teaching and learning. This invitation is open to established researchers, emerging researchers, and graduate or postgraduate students under supervision.

Proposals will be peer reviewed for methodological rigour by a panel of consultants. High-quality proposals which fit within the strategic direction of CTE may be eligible for sponsorship, whereby participants are granted free access to materials during the course of the study.

Any sponsorship arrangement will not impede the researchers’ academic freedom and independence.

In the first instance, interested researchers are invited to contact the CTE team at contact@chasingtimeenglish.com, attaching:

1. A project proposal specifying:

  • the aims of the study (incl. research questions / hypotheses)

  • the project design, including:

    • data collection method(s)

    • context of the study

    • methods of data analysis

    • proposed number of participants

    • description of participants (e.g. age, nationality, first language)

  • project timeline (e.g. key dates for data collection, submission)

  • publication (e.g. name of proposed journal)

2. Brief bio statements (70-100 words) for each of the research team, clarifying:

  • their academic background and publications, or

  • in the case of graduate/postgraduate students, the course currently being studied

Feel free to contact the team to discuss your proposal in advance.
