The Think-Aloud Controversy in Second Language Research aims to
answer key questions about the validity and uses of think-alouds,
verbal reports completed by research participants while they
perform a task. It offers an overview of how think-alouds have been
used in language research and presents a quantitative meta-analysis
of findings from studies involving verbal tasks and think-alouds.
The book begins by presenting the theoretical background and
empirical research that has examined the reactivity of
think-alouds, then offers guidance regarding the practical issues
of data collection and analysis, and concludes with implications
for the use of think-alouds in language research. With its focus on
a much-discussed and somewhat controversial data elicitation method
in language research, this timely work is relevant to students and
researchers from all theoretical perspectives who collect first or
second language data. It serves as a valuable guide for any
language researcher who is considering using think-alouds.
