'This is a readable practical introduction to grounded theory with illustrative examples that guide the reader through a potentially complex topic.' - Professor Chris Kennedy, University of Birmingham 'This book provides a fascinating and very reader-friendly introduction to Grounded Theory, clears away some of the confusions surrounding it, critiques the debates and controversy that GT has sometimes aroused and provides a valuable hands-on guide for using Grounded Theory as a robust research methodology in applied linguistics.' - Professor Jack C. Richards, University of Sydney, University of Auckland, and Victoria University of Wellington 'In this book Gregory Hadley provides an authoritative and insightful treatment of how grounded theory can be used for analytical purposes in applied linguistic research. Covering not only the history and philosophical underpinnings of grounded theory, but also its practical usage, the book is a reader-friendly guide for both novice and seasoned researchers. It should be compulsory reading for any serious qualitative research scholar who wishes to employ grounded theory in a rigorous manner.' - Anne Burns, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
