Abstract: The current study aimed to identify the obstacles that prevent conducting qualitative research in the English Language field at university, as well as the theoretical and philosophical premises of qualitative research. The researcher used the explanatory approach, and used the interview as one of the qualitative research methods. The study found that we need to conduct qualitative research in the English language because of the predominance of quantitative research tools and methods in an explicit omission of qualitative research, despite its importance and suitability for the study of many phenomena and problems in the field of the English language. Philosophical study of the phenomenon is more in depth in the cognitive construction, in addition to its use of a number of means to collect the data of the phenomenon such as observation, interview, document analysis, and knowledge of the social, personal and material circumstances and scenes related to the phenomenon being studied. The study also found that there are many obstacles that prevent conducting qualitative research in the field of education in general and the field of English language in particular. The researcher has developed a set of proposals to overcome the obstacles of qualitative research in the English language field.
