Quasi-Experimental Research in Second Language Acquisition: A Practical Guide is a collection of innovative essays focusing on quasi-experimental designs in second language (L2) research, offering helpful insights into conducting robust, replicable, and ethical research.While pure-experimental research designs have received more attention in applied linguistic communities, quasi-experimental methods have been largely overlooked, even though they provide similar advantages with fewer limitations. In this volume, world-renowned scholars address key issues related to conceptualizing and conducting L2 quasi-experimental research, including sampling practices, materials development, conducting research in authentic classrooms, ethical considerations, and research with young learners. With this broad coverage, the book is comprehensive, accessible, and practical for both beginners and experienced researchers. Each chapter is structured to promote ease of learning, providing both theoretical background and practical guidance through a “how-to” section. This is further divided into two engaging parts that focus on problem-solving and hands-on activities and exercises.This volume is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students in applied linguistics, as well as researchers interested in research methods and classroom-based research.

"Part handbook and part manual, this multi-faceted volume is a treasure trove of advice on how to conduct a form of research that is central in the study of second language learning. An array of prominent researchers clarify central concepts and apply them to specific contexts. Recommended for both graduate students and more experienced researchers.”Robert DeKeyser, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland College Park“This is a book our field has long needed. Rogers and Sato have brought together leading experts to provide a rigorous yet practical guide to quasi-experimental research in second language acquisition. A must-read.”Rod Ellis, Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor, School of Education, Curtin University“In this first edited volume dedicated to quasi-experimental research in L2 classroom learning, the contributors acknowledge its value and benefits and meticulously examine how to strengthen and enhance its methodological rigor. An impressive range of conceptual and implementation issues are discussed, recommendations proposed, and hands-on exercises included. This is essential reading for both novice and experienced L2 classroom researchers.”Nina Spada, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto
