DESCRIPTION:This presentation aims to present the planned methodology for
  exploring the behaviours of Tunisian university teachers and students r
 egarding English use in the context of higher education. The study addre
 sses two main research questions: 1) To what extent and in what circumst
 ances are Arabic\, French and English used in Tunisian higher education 
 contexts? 2) To what extent and in what circumstances are teaching metho
 ds and materials used in teaching English in Tunisian higher education? 
 They seek to investigate language choice in Tunisian higher education. T
 o find answers to the research questions\, this study will use two types
  of observations namely formal observation and informal observation to c
 ollect data from a variety of ways. The formal observation will be condu
 cted in classrooms and the informal observation will take place in infor
 mal settings\, namely university corridors and eateries. The classroom o
 bservation will be used to investigate the languages used in English cla
 sses and the teaching methods and materials. The aim of the informal obs
 ervation is to investigate the languages used by students in public plac
 es focusing on code-switching. In this presentation\, the researcher wil
 l present the detailed methodology including data collection methods\, d
 ata validation methods and data analysis methods that will be used. The 
 researcher will also present the systematic observation sheets. Moreover
 \, the researcher will point to some ethical considerations\, including 
 ‘observer paradox’ (Labov\, 1972\, p. 209) and the informed consent.
