Study Notes

Research in Second Language Learning

Much research in the field of second language learning is published in journals with limited space, leading to incomplete reporting.
Polio and Gass (1997) recommend submitting detailed appendices to complement journal publications, which can be kept online or as hard copies.

Appendices for Research Transparency

These appendices should include guidelines used for coding data, measures of proficiency or development, and instruments for data elicitation (e.g. pre- and post-tests).
Experimental protocols and biodata on participants should also be included in the appendices.

Replication in Research

There are two primary reasons for replication: verification and generalizability.
