Advancing Quantitative Methods in Second Language Research

Advancing Quantitative Methods in Second Language Research is the first hands-on guide to conducting advanced research methods in the fields of applied linguistics and second language studies. While a number of texts discuss basic quantitative research methodology none focus exclusively on providing coverage of alternative advanced statistical procedures in second language studies from a practical approach. The text is bookended by discussions of these advanced procedures in the larger context of second language studies debating their strengths weaknesses and potential for further research; the remaining chapters are how-to sections each chapter following the same organization on a wide variety of advanced research methods. By offering much-needed coverage on advanced statistical concepts and procedures with an eye toward real-world implementation Advancing Quantitative Methods in Second Language Research enhances the methodological repertoire of graduate students and researchers in applied linguistics and second language studies.For additional content visit: oak.ucc.nau.edu/ldp3/AQMSLR.html
