• Qualitative and descriptive research is well suited to the
study of L2 classroom teaching, where conducting tightly
controlled experimental research is hardly possible, and
even if controlled experimental research is conducted in
such settings, the generalizability of its findings to real
classroom contexts are questionable (Nassaji, 2015).
