While\u0000 this paper is admittedly very didactic and methodological, I think the discussion of the empirical data offered here – a\u0000 reanalysis of previously published work – shows how misleading many studies potentially and provides far-reaching implications for\u0000 much of corpus linguistics and learner corpus research. Ideally/maximally, this paper together with Paquot & Plonsky (2017, Intntl.

There are, however, dangers. This article examines a number of key issues that need to be\u0000 considered in conducting a meta-analysis – inclusiveness, the heterogeneity of language learners, the definition of the\u0000 independent and dependent variables, the need to consider alternative explanations of observed effects, the importance of\u0000 examining the quality of the studies included in the analysis, and the apples and oranges problem. These issues are illustrated in\u0000 a discussion of number of SLA meta-analyses (e.g. Norris and Ortega, 2000; Plonsky, 2011; Qureshi, 2016; Spada and Tomita, 2010). The article concludes by suggesting a number of factors that\u0000 need to be considered in deciding whether to conduct a meta-analysis and when carrying one out. I argue the need for systematic\u0000 reviews but suggest that these can often best present their findings in narrative form rather than statistically. I also suggest\u0000 that a preliminary narrative account of the findings of s systematic review can indicate whether a meta-analysis is\u0000 appropriate.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48384294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
