ConclusionReviewsA major contribution to pronunciation research, this engaging volume is packed with clear explanations of key concepts, along with detailed practical advice on the special issues that frequently arise in data collection and analysis. Essential reading for new and seasoned researchers alike. Murray J. Munro, Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University I cannot praise this book enough. Charlie Nagle’s Guide to Research Methods is a state-of-the-art overview and an engaging primer to research design and data analysis that will inspire both novice and seasoned scholars. Writing with candor, clarity, and flair, Nagle mentors the reader, through personal insight and examples of best research practice, on how to be a conscientious, caring, and creative researcher. Pavel Trofimovich, Professor, Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) Charlie Nagle has produced a superb resource, which will be valuable for anyone interested in research methods in SLA, not only pronunciation. The message that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence’ rings true: consequently, choosing the right methods for the research questions posed is essential. The meticulous and accessible nature of the writing and analyses make this an excellent text for applied linguistics programs. In a clear, step-by-step manner, Charlie outlines every stage of the design of experiments, but this is much more than a how-to manual. Drawing on literature from several disciplines within SLA, Charlie has created an informative volume that is likely to be a classic in the years to come. Tracey Derwing, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta A guide to quantitative research methods in second language pronunciation provides 8 accessible chapters that serve as the authoritative introduction to this growing field of research. It provides relevant examples of some of the current analytic techniques used by pronunciation researchers, all of which are described in a clear manner and complimented with R code. Importantly, this definitive guide makes some of the new analytic tools of open science and reproducible research accessible to students and early career researchers and serves as a foundational reference for anybody interested in learning and teaching open science practices in second language pronunciation research. Joseph Casillas, Associate Professor, Rutgers University Author InformationCharlie Nagle is Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at The University of Texas at Austin, USA. As a quantitative research methodologist working in the areas of second language learning, phonetics and phonology, and speech perception and production, he is especially interested in longitudinal research methods and the statistical modeling of speech data. His work has been supported by the Fulbright Program and the National Science Foundation. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
