Abstract:

This book provides practical guidance on research methods and designs that can
be applied to Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) research. It discusses the
contribution of CDST to the field of applied linguistics, examines what this
perspective entails for research and introduces practical methods and
templates, both qualitative and quantitative, for how applied linguistics
researchers can design and conduct research using the CDST framework.
Introduced in the book are methods ranging from those in widespread use in
social complexity, to more familiar methods in use throughout applied
linguistics. All are inherently suited to studying both dynamic change in
context and interconnectedness. This accessible introduction to CDST research
will equip readers with the knowledge to ensure compatibility between
empirical research designs and the theoretical tenets of complexity. It will
be of value to researchers working in the areas of applied linguistics,
language pedagogy and educational linguistics and to scholars and
professionals with an interest in second/foreign language acquisition and
complexity theory.
