Scholars working on diverse areas (e.g., pragmatics, corrective feedback, phonology) and approaches (e.g., corpus linguistics, concept-oriented analyses, variationism) have come together to identify challenges researchers face when collecting, coding, and analyzing data and to provide guidance for making advancements regarding these aspects of research method. This volume also showcases three types of critical reflection. One involves building a relevant corpus of published investigations and using that database to identify methodological issues in existing research. Another consists of recoding and reanalyzing published work, before reflecting on the impact that these decisions have on observations made about interlanguage. The third begins with a particular area of or approach to second language acquisition and then offers a critical examination on the challenges that characterize the selected area or approach. Researchers and graduate students alike will benefit from an open discussion on methodological issues that are in need of improvement. 05 This book can be a valuable resource for researchers who are approaching SLA theoretical and<br />applied research and are planning to collect data; they would indeed benefit from the in-depth<br />description of a wide range of approaches, to evaluate the one(s) that would suit best to their data.

Specifically, three data collection methods used to document speech act development are compared: discourse completion tasks (written and spoken), role plays, and naturalistic recordings. I critically discuss benefits and shortcomings of these data collection methods, in response to three questions: (1) What is the nature of speech act data collected in each method?; (2) What kind of analysis is performed on the data collected?; and (3) What conclusions are drawn as evidence for speech act development? The chapter concludes with critical reflections and directions for future investigation into pragmatic development. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.03li 33 62 30 Chapter 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;2.

A total of 34 studies published between 2006 and 2017 in five top journals in second language acquisition were selected for the review. The methods of data collection reported in the studies were coded in terms of CF treatment, CF elicitation task, and the measurement of CF effects. CF treatment was further coded as CF operationalization, the context of CF treatment, pre-treatment instruction, and CF amount. CF elicitation task is discussed with regard to task type and task validation. Task type concerns whether communicative tasks or mechanical drills were used to elicit the target structure, and task validation pertains to whether and how the primary researchers provided evidence for task complexity and for the contexts of obligatory use of the target structure. The measurement of CF effects is examined in terms of whether treatment effects are measured via tests of explicit or implicit knowledge and whether treatment effects are operationalized as mastery of the target structure, use of a more advanced variant of a structure (staged development), automatization of existing knowledge, or learners&#8217; overall task performance indexed by the complexity, accuracy, and fluency of their speech production. For each coded methodological feature, current practices are reported, limitations and challenges are identified, and solutions are recommended. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.04lea 63 88 26 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;3.

In L2 studies, a common practice is to group participants into proficiency categories (i.e., groups such as &#8216;intermediate&#8217; or &#8216;advanced&#8217;; a practice known as dichotomization). Nevertheless, I argue that, for theoretical and empirical reasons, proficiency should be analyzed as a true continuous variable. Theoretically, we conceptualize adult L2 acquisition as a continuous process driven by basic learning mechanisms that may be constrained by underlying principles. Empirically, I present evidence illustrating how creating categorical groups by carving up a continuous dependent measure is statistically inappropriate. Finally, I address the importance of sampling practices and why it is preferable to include participants from a broad proficiency spectrum. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.05sol 89 124 36 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;4.

This approach permits precise accounts of L2 sound learning but can also lead to a narrow view of L2 phonetic acquisition. To illustrate this point, this chapter reports on a study of the acquisition of the Spanish lateral phoneme by English-speaking learners. A prior analysis of these data (Solon, 2017) explored lateral production according to one acoustic-phonetic property. For the present study, all data were reexamined and learner productions were classified descriptively according to phenomena observed in the data; categorizations were tallied and potential patterns were explored. Results reveal that learners frequently employ production phenomena in their L2 that are not common in learners&#8217; native or target languages, some of which may represent systematic developmental phenomena. This chapter argues that L2 acoustic-phonetic research could benefit from &#8216;listening&#8217; more to data to hear what they might be telling us on their own before or in addition to exploring specific, established measures. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.06edm 125 148 24 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;5.

And yet the operationalization of variables ultimately determines our capacity to both enter into dialogue with previous research and to address new and innovative research questions. In the current chapter, we reflect on the operationalization of variables within the field of SLA, offering two concrete examples from investigations on the expression of future time in additional-language French. We demonstrate how two important independent variables&#160;&#8211; temporal distance and adverbial specification&#160;&#8211; have either been defined in numerous ways or underspecified in the literature. We then provide concrete illustrations of the impact of data-coding decisions by presenting reanalyses of these two variables using data from previously published research. We conclude with a discussion of the implications that these critical assessments of data coding have for knowledge of additional-language acquisition. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.07tra 149 170 22 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6.

It is also rare to find longitudinal studies with data collected beyond the one year mark. In this chapter we argue for the need to adopt more longitudinal research agendas in SLA and the potential of publicly shared learner corpora to help broaden the impact of the data collected. We use as an example work from the longitudinal project, LANGSNAP, which now includes a new set of data collected in 2016, thus expanding the project to 5 years and adding a new research question, that of the long-term evolution of foreign-language proficiency. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.08bar 171 196 26 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;7.

It considers the benefits and challenges of an approach that has meaning, or concept, as its central construct, and explores the relation of such an approach to other approaches to research in second language acquisition (SLA) today. The chapter discusses how concepts are selected for investigation, how realizations of those concepts are identified in interlanguage, and how means of expression of those concepts are categorized and coded. The chapter also reflects on the use of the target language in this analysis, which views interlanguage as an independent system, and shows how recent studies have used a variety of resources to compare the balance of linguistic devices used in learner and native-speaker systems. The concept-oriented analysis has recently been used in combination with a variationist approach to SLA, and this is discussed in the final section, along with possible directions for future investigations. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.09shi 197 218 22 Chapter 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;8.

That discussion is followed by suggestions for collecting and analyzing naturalistic data based on the author&#8217;s experiences using a longitudinal corpus of naturalistic social interactions for the purpose of studying L2 pragmatics.

Scholars working on diverse areas (e.g., pragmatics, corrective feedback, phonology) and approaches (e.g., corpus linguistics, concept-oriented analyses, variationism) have come together to identify challenges researchers face when collecting, coding, and analyzing data and to provide guidance for making advancements regarding these aspects of research method. This volume also showcases three types of critical reflection. One involves building a relevant corpus of published investigations and using that database to identify methodological issues in existing research. Another consists of recoding and reanalyzing published work, before reflecting on the impact that these decisions have on observations made about interlanguage. The third begins with a particular area of or approach to second language acquisition and then offers a critical examination on the challenges that characterize the selected area or approach. Researchers and graduate students alike will benefit from an open discussion on methodological issues that are in need of improvement. 05 This book can be a valuable resource for researchers who are approaching SLA theoretical and<br />applied research and are planning to collect data; they would indeed benefit from the in-depth<br />description of a wide range of approaches, to evaluate the one(s) that would suit best to their data.

Specifically, three data collection methods used to document speech act development are compared: discourse completion tasks (written and spoken), role plays, and naturalistic recordings. I critically discuss benefits and shortcomings of these data collection methods, in response to three questions: (1) What is the nature of speech act data collected in each method?; (2) What kind of analysis is performed on the data collected?; and (3) What conclusions are drawn as evidence for speech act development? The chapter concludes with critical reflections and directions for future investigation into pragmatic development. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.03li 33 62 30 Chapter 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;2.

A total of 34 studies published between 2006 and 2017 in five top journals in second language acquisition were selected for the review. The methods of data collection reported in the studies were coded in terms of CF treatment, CF elicitation task, and the measurement of CF effects. CF treatment was further coded as CF operationalization, the context of CF treatment, pre-treatment instruction, and CF amount. CF elicitation task is discussed with regard to task type and task validation. Task type concerns whether communicative tasks or mechanical drills were used to elicit the target structure, and task validation pertains to whether and how the primary researchers provided evidence for task complexity and for the contexts of obligatory use of the target structure. The measurement of CF effects is examined in terms of whether treatment effects are measured via tests of explicit or implicit knowledge and whether treatment effects are operationalized as mastery of the target structure, use of a more advanced variant of a structure (staged development), automatization of existing knowledge, or learners&#8217; overall task performance indexed by the complexity, accuracy, and fluency of their speech production. For each coded methodological feature, current practices are reported, limitations and challenges are identified, and solutions are recommended. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.04lea 63 88 26 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;3.

In L2 studies, a common practice is to group participants into proficiency categories (i.e., groups such as &#8216;intermediate&#8217; or &#8216;advanced&#8217;; a practice known as dichotomization). Nevertheless, I argue that, for theoretical and empirical reasons, proficiency should be analyzed as a true continuous variable. Theoretically, we conceptualize adult L2 acquisition as a continuous process driven by basic learning mechanisms that may be constrained by underlying principles. Empirically, I present evidence illustrating how creating categorical groups by carving up a continuous dependent measure is statistically inappropriate. Finally, I address the importance of sampling practices and why it is preferable to include participants from a broad proficiency spectrum. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.05sol 89 124 36 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;4. Novel sounds</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">What L2 phonetic data might be telling us that we do not always hear</Subtitle> 1 A01 Megan Solon Solon, Megan Megan Solon University at Albany, SUNY 20 acoustic analysis 20 phonetics and phonology 20 second-language acquisition 01 Within the field of second-language (L2) phonetics, development in the production of a L2 phone is often conceived of as the modification of specific phonetic properties to approximate native-speaker norms. This approach permits precise accounts of L2 sound learning but can also lead to a narrow view of L2 phonetic acquisition. To illustrate this point, this chapter reports on a study of the acquisition of the Spanish lateral phoneme by English-speaking learners. A prior analysis of these data (Solon, 2017) explored lateral production according to one acoustic-phonetic property. For the present study, all data were reexamined and learner productions were classified descriptively according to phenomena observed in the data; categorizations were tallied and potential patterns were explored. Results reveal that learners frequently employ production phenomena in their L2 that are not common in learners&#8217; native or target languages, some of which may represent systematic developmental phenomena. This chapter argues that L2 acoustic-phonetic research could benefit from &#8216;listening&#8217; more to data to hear what they might be telling us on their own before or in addition to exploring specific, established measures. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.06edm 125 148 24 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;5.

And yet the operationalization of variables ultimately determines our capacity to both enter into dialogue with previous research and to address new and innovative research questions. In the current chapter, we reflect on the operationalization of variables within the field of SLA, offering two concrete examples from investigations on the expression of future time in additional-language French. We demonstrate how two important independent variables&#160;&#8211; temporal distance and adverbial specification&#160;&#8211; have either been defined in numerous ways or underspecified in the literature. We then provide concrete illustrations of the impact of data-coding decisions by presenting reanalyses of these two variables using data from previously published research. We conclude with a discussion of the implications that these critical assessments of data coding have for knowledge of additional-language acquisition. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.07tra 149 170 22 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6.

It is also rare to find longitudinal studies with data collected beyond the one year mark. In this chapter we argue for the need to adopt more longitudinal research agendas in SLA and the potential of publicly shared learner corpora to help broaden the impact of the data collected. We use as an example work from the longitudinal project, LANGSNAP, which now includes a new set of data collected in 2016, thus expanding the project to 5 years and adding a new research question, that of the long-term evolution of foreign-language proficiency. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.08bar 171 196 26 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;7.

It considers the benefits and challenges of an approach that has meaning, or concept, as its central construct, and explores the relation of such an approach to other approaches to research in second language acquisition (SLA) today. The chapter discusses how concepts are selected for investigation, how realizations of those concepts are identified in interlanguage, and how means of expression of those concepts are categorized and coded. The chapter also reflects on the use of the target language in this analysis, which views interlanguage as an independent system, and shows how recent studies have used a variety of resources to compare the balance of linguistic devices used in learner and native-speaker systems. The concept-oriented analysis has recently been used in combination with a variationist approach to SLA, and this is discussed in the final section, along with possible directions for future investigations. 10 01 JB code lllt.51.09shi 197 218 22 Chapter 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;8.
