Trustworthiness in L2 writing research: A review and analysis of qualitative articles in the Journal of Second Language Writing by A. Mehdi Riazi (16555202)

“…Because of various paradigmatic tensions, many qualitative researchers have sought to move away from the entrenched concepts of <i>reliability, validity</i>, and <i>objectivity</i> traditionally associated with quantitative research methodologies. Given the significance of quality in research methodology and the wide variation in evaluative nomenclature, we set out to investigate how “trustworthiness” is addressed by L2 writing researchers in their published articles in the Journal of Second Language Writing. …”
