Abstract:

This edited volume offers critical reflections on an essential component of
research method in the field of second language acquisition – data. 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.
