> 2. 4 Methods
The current study will utilize first-hand participant observation within the contexts (McNeill, 1985) which allows researchers to more directly experience aspects of the situation context. Also, the recording of participants naturally occurring talk, and open ended interviews to pursue their views and understanding towards the Crimean language. All these methods enable us to gain insights about the social practice within which language is embedded, and the influence of contextual factors both within and beyond the school.
2. 5 Analysis
Data will be analyzed using form of linguistic discourse analysis (Maybin, 2009). Discourse analysis is concerned with spoken language, content, and function. And, the ways shared understanding is developed, in social context, over time (Mercer, 2010).
3. Ethics
As a researcher, Im going to conduct "covert" research (McNeill, 1985) that is I will not let children know what Im doing. Therefore, I will tell them that Im writing a book, even if it is note purely frank. But, at the same time I will obtain informed consent from their parents.
The anonym of participants will be provided if it is necessary.
3. 1 Outcomes
The study will provide clear understanding of the Crimeans children attitudes towards Crimean language. After that it will shed light upon issue of young children preferences in language selection in and out-of-school context. Consequently, we can notice if there any language shift takes place.
This study may be of a great use for new Crimean immigrants that might want to be aware or understand the problems their children would encounter while integrating in the U. S. society.
