Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I have completed the first phase of the research plan in line with my initial schedule. This entailed travelling to a conference, making connections, and recruiting participants. I enlisted further participants through personal contacts. After this I carried out classroom observations for participants that would allow it, unfortunately due to various ethics policies in different universities, this was only possible with two of the ten participants. I have adjusted my plan to include these participants as separate case studies within the group of total participants. I also interviewed all of the participants in face to face interviews. I have now collected all of the data and had the interviews transcribed.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
At present I am in the process of analysing the data using a qualititaive data analysis software program. At the same time I am also acquainting myself with the relevant literature in preparation for writing the paper. The writing of the paper is still progressing smoothly.
However, my plan for dissemination of the results through presentations is delayed. I have submitted proposals to present my data at various domestic and international conferences. However, due to the Coronavirus, two of the conferences have already been cancelled, although there is still the possibility that I will able to present at a domestic conference in November.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
From now I plan to spend the next period of time analysing the data in detail and preparing to write a paper to submit to peer-reviewed journals. Due to the cancellation of a number of conferences due to the Coronavirus I am now in the process of adjusting my plan by looking for new conferences to apply for. I am still planning to present the results of the study at a domestic conference in November, but am still waiting to hear whether my proposal has been accepted and whether the conference will still go ahead.
