摘　　要：以"是英语难学还是汉语难学"为例,探讨应用语言学的研究方法中的三个问题。其一是应用语言学的研究过程,一般说来,应用语言学的研究过程共分为四步:(1)确定研究问题,(2)形成假设,(3)验证假设,(4)得出结论;其二是不同的研究方法可能导致不同的研究结果;其三是任何一种研究方法都有其局限性。This paper takes ＂which is harder to learn, English or Chinese？＂ as a case and makes an exploration of three issues. The first is the research process in applied linguistics, which is generally made up of four steps： 1） specifying research questions; Z） formulating hypotheses; 3） testing hypotheses; and 4） drawing conclusions. The second is that different research methods may lead to different conclusions. The last one is that there is no perfect research method, because any method alwayshas limitations of one kind or another.
