Abstract

Member checking (MC) is often reported as a tool used to enhance the trustworthiness of qualitative research. It is described as a continuous process during data analysis. This chapter explores the application of MC to validate the reliability and credibility of interview transcripts. It provides a practical example aiming to test the authenticity of transcripts of an interview schedule on Tunisian teachers' attitudes towards promoting the status of English in higher education and using it as a language of instruction. The findings reveal that participant validation contributes to verifying the accuracy of the interview transcripts and the credibility of the results.
