Understanding Research in Second Language Learning by James Dean Brown

Understanding Research in Second Language Learning by James Dean Brown

Understanding Research in Second Language Learning focuses on the skills and processes necessary for understanding statistical research in language learning. Designed for language teachers with no previous background in statistics, the paperback edition focuses on the skills and processes necessary for understanding statistical research in language learning. Brown explains the basic terms of statistics, the structure and organization of statistical research reports, the system of statistical logic, and how to decipher tables, charts, and graphs. By the end of the book, readers will be able to make knowledgeable judgments about the relative qualities of a study and to assess the value of the results of a study in relation to a specific language teaching situation.

"This book does an excellent job of filling a major gap in the publications in our field.. should be a boon to those of us who are concerned about properly training future teachers and applied linguists to critically read and interpret quantitative empirical research." Lyle F. Bachman, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
