Investigating the State of Globalized English Teaching Approaches in English Research Articles through Critical Discourse Analysis

由于COVID-19限制我们无法雇用研究助理，我们无法在2021财年完成预期的数据采集，但我们能够在2022财年开始下载、转换和准备数据的重要工作。虽然我们还没有赶上项目的最初时间表，但我们在这一年中继续获取和处理尽可能多的数据。为了避免过分强调早期数据而使我们的分析产生偏差，我们决定推迟对数据进行详细的数学和主题分析，直到我们获得至少一半的数据。2022年6月，我们在东京莱克兰大学的全球教育会议上介绍了我们的试点研究结果。这项初步研究使用了许多与我们计划用于相关但更有限的数据集的主要研究相同的方法。结果显示，基本方法是合理的，并有可能产生有用的结果，在整个数据集。根据反馈的介绍和我们自己的讨论，我们决定寻求出版的试点结果。我们目前正在撰写一篇论文，并计划于2023年提交出版。

After having been unable to complete as much data acquisition in fiscal 2021 as we had desired due to COVID-19 restrictions preventing us from hiring research assistants, we were able to begin significant work in downloading, converting, and preparing data in fiscal 2022. While we are not yet caught up with the original timetable for the project, we have continued to acquire and process as much data as possible throughout the year. In order to avoid biasing our analysis by overemphasizing early data, we have decided to hold off on conducting detailed mathematical and thematic analysis of the data until we have acquired at least half of it.In June 2022, we presented at the Conference on Global Education at Lakeland University in Tokyo on the results of our pilot study. This pilot study utilized many of the same methods that we plan to use for the main study on a related but more limited data set. The results indicated that the basic method is sound and is likely to yield useful results on the full data set.Based on feedback from the presentation and our own discussions, we have decided to seek publication of the pilot results. We are currently writing a paper and intend to submit for publishing in 2023.
