INTRODUCTION
‘Research is a systematic approach to finding
answers to questions’ (Hatch and Farhady 1982)
(b) Sociometry
Use indirect means for young children because direct
questions concerning their attitudes are inappropriate
Strong (1984):
(i) Children need to nominate classmates who speak
different native languages
(ii) Identified subjects’ allegiances & plot the group structure
in diagrammatic maps called sociograms
Sociograms – useful in studying attitudes towards
minority-group members within a group
(c) Matched Guise Technique
Use to elicit attitudes towards speakers of other
languages.
