Instruments for Research into Second Languages is an accessible
introduction to understanding and evaluating existing and emerging
methodologies in L2 research. The book provides an introduction to
the data collection materials available in the IRIS database. IRIS
is an open access, searchable repository of instruments used to
elicit data for research into second and foreign language learning
and teaching. The book is aimed at graduate students, researchers
and educators in the fields of Applied Linguistics and Second
Language Acquisition. Featuring contributions from top scholars in
the field, this dynamic volume includes empirical research carried
out using innovative instruments held in IRIS, offering insights
into their basic mechanics, how and why they are used, as well as
the challenges they can present. The chapters describe the kinds of
data (evidence about knowledge, processing, interaction, learning,
and motivation) that result from these methods, and they discuss
conditions that lead to reliable and valid data collection and
analysis. This unique collection provides researchers,
professionals, and students with up-to-date responses to practical
and theoretical questions about how second language learning and
teaching can be investigated using the IRIS database of
instruments. IRIS was funded by the Economic and Social Research
Council and is a long term British Academy Research Project.
