Description:
The Penn State Workshops in Research Methods for Applied Linguists started in 2020 as a means to support researchers in designing, carrying out, and reporting research studies. Not only are research methods at the heart of any piece of research that we do, but the ways in which we design and use our research tools can have important consequences for the nature of a study’s findings and conclusions. In addition to these understandings, open science initiatives are encouraging us to be more transparent in how we plan, conduct, and share our research (e.g., sharing data collection materials, pre-registering analyses before data collection). In order to support researchers in carrying out high-quality applied linguistics research, our aims for these workshops has always been to provide free and accessible training in a variety of research methods used in the field, including considerations for research design, data collection, data analysis, reporting, and interpretation. Our workshops involve all stages of the research process and are led by international experts. In fall 2022, we are pleased to offer five workshops.

Participants can choose to attend any number of workshops (e.g., all four, two). All workshops will take place online and are free to attend. Spaces are limited and are reserved on a first come, first serve basis using the registration form. To register, please visit: https://sites.psu.edu/researchmethods/
