Hello Miriam,
what an interesting topic to examine!
I am not sure if this helps you or not but I was recently reading a
journal article by a graduate student at School of Lingusitcs and
Applied Language Studies at Carleton in which she examines how students
in a course named Second Language Classroon Research manage to conduct
a research and write the paper for that course.
The name of this artcile is "The ups and downs of becoming a graduate
studnet researcher" by Karen Rishel which is published in Perceptions
of Progress, LALS 5201 (the collection of all the papers written in the
same course by students).
Hope it helps,
Mojdeh
