Research on foreign language curriculum innovation has leaned towards qualitative approaches with the adoption of phenomenology and hermeneutics. Despite the abundant literature on these two research designs, conducting phenomenological hermeneutic research as a dialectical continuum becomes critical for novice and experienced researchers. This book takes the reader across a journey that starts with key foundational ontological, epistemological, methodological, and rhetoric issues and assumptions and ends with a description of how phenomenological hermeneutic inquiry appears in practice. The text depicts the approach to doing phenomenology rooted in the doctoral dissertation on foreign language curriculum innovation. Generic steps have been followed for conducting research and drawn on step-specific resources and activities that have been used to complete doctoral studies and the recent publication of the approach to collecting and analyzing phenomenological research. An attempt has been made to make sure that this book in and of itself can help readers -novice and experienced – to navigate the unpredictable world of phenomenology in education and human science research.
