• This chapter proposes that the emergent multiphase design can be conceptualized as an integrated mixed methods approach for conducting language research. There has been interest in students' first language (L1) and second language (L2) use and development in and outside of school. The emergent multiphase design is a way of conducting robust longitudinal inquiry within this topic. This is, in part, because, although a mixed methods research design can be planned in advance, changes can arise during the course of a study, thereby allowing for an emergent design. The multiphase aspect of the design allows researchers to attend to integrated analyses in a stepwise fashion, wherein each phase influences the next and wherein some decisions can be made during the research process. The emergent design is particularly relevant for the exploration of unexpected outcomes, and this chapter focuses on such outcomes in the form of empirical data concerning secondary school students' use of English outside school, their English proficiency, and the status of English in the youth culture with which they identify.
