(b) students should acquire practical knowledge and hands-on experience on how to design and conduct digital ethnographic studies, familiarizing themselves with established methodological tools and learning to make informed methodological decisions.The course will focus particularly on the relevance of digital ethnographic approaches to (applied) linguistics research while also problematizing disciplinary labels and promoting an interdisciplinary research ethos. We will also be discussing relevant ethics questions (e.g., privacy, empowering research participants).By the end of the course, students should:
- have a firm understanding of digital ethnography as a full-fledged approach to studying online communication;
- be able to critically evaluate the relevance of various methodological approaches that may suit their research interests;
- be capable of making informed methodological decisions in their research pursuits;
- know how to design and conduct a digital ethnographic study on a topic of their choice;
- have developed their skills in critical group discussions, public presentations and academic writing.The course will be taught in English and it will be discussion-oriented. Students' active participation is greatly encouraged.
