Call for Papers, Special Issue - May 2023 
Replication in CALL
Guest editor
Cornelia Tschichold (Swansea University, UK)

Call for Papers:

In CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) as in other areas, replication
studies are essential in order to establish a more robust research grounding
for the field. Many published studies, if they can be replicated at all, fail
to produce similar results, but successfully reproducing the positive results
of a CALL study will strengthen the argument for the adoption of technology in
the classroom. However, in a field where technological developments are often
fast-paced, replications can be a challenge as the software used in the
original paper has evolved, become obsolete, or is not available in the
language(s) required. This may be one of the reasons why - despite several
calls for more replications in CALL within the last decade - there is still a
shortage of published replication studies in CALL. With databases such as
IRIS, detailed instructions on how to conduct replications (Porte & McManus
2019), and a small but constantly growing list of published replication
studies, it should now be possible to successfully overcome this challenge and
carry out replication studies of some of the interesting empirical work in
CALL. This will increase the validity, reliability and generalizability of
findings, which in turn could lead to better acceptance and more realistic
views of what CALL can do for the language learner.

The principal theme for this special issue is replication, in any area of
CALL. The studies submitted for this issue should be replications of published
empirical studies in the area of CALL from the last twenty years. Close,
approximate and conceptual replications are all welcome, including:
- replications of studies where the participants' L1 was the variable that was
changed
- replications of studies on English where the target language was modified to
a language other than English
- replications of studies where the original software was changed
- tightly constructed, conceptual replications that extend an original study
from a non-CALL context to a CALL context

The replication studies should show how the methodology of the original paper
was reproduced, what the challenges were, and to discuss recommendations for
best practice.

As a first step, we invite expressions of interest for submissions to a
special issue of ReCALL on replication in CALL. We particularly welcome
proposals from early career researchers to submit their ideas for replications
or contact the guest editor (c.tschichold at swansea.ac.uk) to discuss their
ideas at this point.
- Expressions of interest: 30 September 2021
- Submission of papers: 15 May 2022
- Final manuscripts: 31 January 2023
- Publication: May 2023
