Abstract
This article examines the methodological issues encountered in carrying out a three-country comparative study of language-in-education policy implementation in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. The analysis is divided into three sections, each of which addresses one of the primary challenges encountered in undertaking the research. These three primary challenges were the level of analysis, access to interview and documentary data, and accountability to those who assisted the author in her research. The article explores the chosen response to each of these challenges and suggests additional avenues for research and methodological development.
