Description

This chapter deals with the design-based research of a coursebook for ESP. The first part of this paper frames the concept of design-based research. The second part outlines my own research design. It focuses on the research objectives, individual stages of the research, description of research samples and data collection methods. Finally, I make assumptions which my research should or should not justify and explain how its results can be applied to educational practice.
