Applied Linguistics
Research Journey

Turn what you learn in Units 1–5 into researchable ideas. Build, revise, compare, pause, or restart projects as your understanding develops—then hand one mature concept to Research Proposal Studio for real proposal development.

Course → Journey → Studio

Build ideas while learning—not after the course is over.

Each unit adds a different layer to the same project. You may continue, branch, pause, compare, and later move one mature concept into Research Proposal Studio.

Design principle

The project should become clearer after every unit.

Milestones preserve changes in your reasoning, not only the final answer.

How to use this journey

One project or several—both are valid

Continue: deepen an existing idea after learning a new unit.
Explore: start a new idea when a later unit reveals a more interesting problem.
Compare: pause weaker ideas. Later select the project that has the strongest problem, theoretical basis, evidence plan, and feasibility.

Projects are formative learning work. “Readiness” shows whether important components are present; it does not automatically judge research quality.
