What is eye tracking? Why is it important for linguistics? How can I use it in my own research project?

Answering these questions and more, this book guides you through one of the most exciting and innovative research methods in the field of linguistics. Divided into three parts, the chapters first offer an historical introduction and a foundational overview to the neurology and physiology of the eye and the common measurements and tools used in eye tracking. They then provide a guide to the applications of eye tracking most pertinent to linguists (reading, the visual-world paradigm, social eye tracking, and classroom applications), followed by a step-by-step process to plan, execute, analyze and report your research project in eye tracking. The book covers topics such as reading, lexical and syntactic processing, mind...

Paul Meara developed the LLAMA tests as a free, language-neutral, user-friendly suite of aptitude tests incorporating four separate elements: vocabulary learning (LLAMA_B), phonetic (implicit) memory (LLAMA_D), sound-symbol correspondence (LLAMA_E) and grammatical inferencing (LLAMA_F) based on the standardised MLAT tests (Carroll & Sapon, 1959). Recently, they have become increasingly popular in L2 acquisition research. However, Meara has expressed concern about the wide use of these tests without validity testing. We investigated several areas relating to the LLAMA tests. 
1. What is the role of gender in LLAMA test performance? 
2. Are the LLAMA tests...

At the turn of the new millennium, in an article published in Language Teaching Research in 2000, Dörnyei and Kormos proposed that ?active learner engagement is a key concern? for all instructed language learning. Since then, language engagement research has increased exponentially. In this article, we present a systematic review of 20 years of language engagement research. To ensure robust coverage, we searched 21 major journals on second language acquisition (SLA) and applied linguistics and identified 112 reports satisfying our inclusion criteria. The results of our analysis of these...

Este artículo explora el potencial de JASP (Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program, https://jasp-stats.org/) como herramienta estadística robusta para avanzar en la investigación sobre la Adquisición de Segundas Lenguas (ASL), con un énfasis específico en su aplicación dentro del dominio de la escritura en L2. El dominio de la escritura en una segunda lengua es una habilidad compleja y polifacética, que exige una investigación empírica rigurosa para descubrir patrones y perspectivas matizados. JASP, conocido por su interfaz fácil de usar y sus avanzadas capacidades estadísticas, se perfila como un instrumento prometedor para los...
