Gwyneth James
I am a Senior Lecturer in TESOL/ELT and also the Programme Leader for the MA TESOL at the University of Hertfordshire.
My doctorate researched the area of international students' learning and transition experiences using narrative inquiry, and my post-doc research will focus on developing this area to focus on second language identity and also home students' learning and transition experiences.
In addition I am working on three collaborative research projects: 1) a British Council funded project looking at ELT teachers' stories of resilience; 2) looking at the relationship between language, identity, culture and music using autoethnography and narrative inquiry; and 3) Superdiversity in the university classroom.

data analysis, for my doctoral data; a journey characterised by floundering, meandering, wrong turns and cul-de-
sacs. It explains the initially overwhelming process of moving from collecting “data” to constructing the
narratives of five postgraduate international students, challenges faced as well as lessons learned. Despite its
complexities, narrative data analysis enables colour and emotion to be added to research. This article
continues to add to a somewhat meagre research literature about how to move from collecting “data” to
constructing narratives.
