Abstract:

Several new initiatives in our field point to an increased awareness ab out the need, place, and value of replication research in the growth and credibility of the discipline (e.g., methodological guides, journal spe cial issues). Yet, as reviews have noted (Marsden et al., 2018; Porte, 2 012), support and resources are needed so that researchers can design, c onduct, and report high quality replication studies. This workshop respo nded to that need by introducing novice and experienced researchers to t he replication research process. We begin by exploring why and how repli cation studies are important to how we build knowledge and theories abou t applied linguistics. Using this foundation, we review different approa ches to doing replication research, the reasons for choosing one approac h over another, and the types of research questions best addressed with replication studies. The second part of this workshop includes hands-on activities and group discussions focused on the design, analysis, and wr iting-up of a replication project using published replication studies as models.

Bio:

Kevin McManus is an associate professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Penn State, where he is also direc tor of the Center for Language Acquisition and the Center for Advanced L anguage Proficiency, Education, and Research. His research focuses on ps ycholinguistics, crosslinguistic influence, instruction, and usage-based accounts of learning, with particular interests in instructed grammatic al learning and the ways in which cognitive and social factors shape dev elopment. He also has significant interests in replication research, whi ch has involved conducting and promoting replication studies as well as providing guidance and training in the design, execution, and interpreta tion of replication studies. His most recent books include Doing Rep lication Research in Applied Linguistics, Crosslinguistic Influ ence and Second Language Learning, and Usage in Second Language Acquisition. Critical Reflections and Future Directions. He is cur rently an associate editor for Studies in Second Language Acquisitio n.
