Literature Review: Body (Expanded). In the previous assignment (SLP 3), the body of the literature review was drafted (Chapter 2) for the proposed dissertation topic. The next step is to expand the draft of the literature review to include how various methodological approaches have been used to study the topic in the research literature. Directions: Select two of the major themes from the outline of the dissertation literature review created in the previous assignment. For each major theme, identify three quantitative and three qualitative empirical studies (six new articles total) related to the theme. These articles should not be the ones used for previous SLP assignments. For all six new empirical articles, write six statements (one paragraph for each study) that outlines the title, author, problem, research question(s), research methodology, research findings, and gaps in the study. What questions does the study raise? Given the literature review, which methodological approach (quantitative or qualitative) might work best with the proposed dissertation topic/question(s)? Why?
