摘要

在本文的最后一篇文章中，我们讨论了概括性这一重要概念，以及它与应用语言学家为各种程度和等级的语言学习者服务的能力之间的关系。我们将深入了解目前应用语言学中有偏见的抽样是如何存在的，以及这种偏见如何扭曲我们这些应用语言学家正在建立的关于第二语言学习和教学的知识。例如，我们的结论通常被认为是普遍适用的，尽管产生这些结论的样本非常具体，是西方的、受过教育的、工业化的、富裕的和民主的(WEIRD;Henrich, Heine， & Norenzayan, 2010)。在ARAL成立40周年之际，我们呼吁在更多样化的背景和更多样化的样本中进行研究和复制，以促进应用语言学领域的进步。

Sampling Bias and the Problem of Generalizability in Applied Linguistics

Abstract In this final contribution to the issue, we discuss the important concept of generalizability and how it relates to applied linguists’ ability to serve language learners of all shades and grades. We provide insight into how biased sampling in Applied Linguistics currently is and how such bias may skew the knowledge that we, applied linguists, are building about second language learning and instruction. For example, our conclusions are often framed as universally-applying, even though the samples that have given rise to them are highly specific and Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD; Henrich, Heine, & Norenzayan, 2010). We end with a call for research and replication in more diverse contexts and with more diverse samples to promote progress in the field of Applied Linguistics as ARAL celebrates its 40th anniversary.

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
