SUMMARY:Center for Language Acquisition Research Methods Workshop—Kimberly Geesl
in
DESCRIPTION:\n&ldquo\;Sociolinguistics and Second Language Acquisition R
esearch&rdquo\;\n\nKimberly Geeslin\, Indiana University\n\nResearch on
second language sociolinguistics falls at the intersection of two fields
\, sociolinguistics and second language acquisition\, and requires caref
ul planning to account for the nature of variable language\, both lingui
stic and social\, and its context-dependent nature. This workshop aims t
o provide a broad view of the range of research methods employed in the
field of second language sociolinguistics as well as an in-depth account
of the application of variationist sociolinguistics research methods to
second language data collection\, analysis and interpretation. The prim
ary focus of the discussion will be making transparent the decision-maki
ng that goes into designing research on L2 variation\, beginning with pl
anning and design\, continuing to coding and analysis\, and extending th
rough interpretation of the findings. There will be opportunities to exp
lore real-world challenges\, to collaborate and to apply research method
s to new areas of inquiry. Building on several chapters of L2 variationi
st research methods\, each of which identified directions for future res
earch at the time of publication\, we will conclude by identifying some
of the remaining challenges and most promising areas for new projects.\n

Research on second language sociolingu
istics falls at the intersection of two fields, sociolinguistics and sec
ond language acquisition, and requires careful planning to account for t
he nature of variable language, both linguistic and social, and its cont
ext-dependent nature. This workshop aims to provide a broad view of the
range of research methods employed in the field of second language socio
linguistics as well as an in-depth account of the application of variati
onist sociolinguistics research methods to second language data collecti
on, analysis and interpretation. The primary focus of the discussion wil
l be making transparent the decision-making that goes into designing res
earch on L2 variation, beginning with planning and design, continuing to
coding and analysis, and extending through interpretation of the findin
gs. There will be opportunities to explore real-world challenges, to col
laborate and to apply research methods to new areas of inquiry. Building
on several chapters of L2 variationist research methods, each of which
identified directions for future research at the time of publication, we
will conclude by identifying some of the remaining challenges and most
promising areas for new projects.
