  • Achieving epistemic alignment in a psycholinguistic experiment

    Kyoko Kobayashi Hillman, Steven J Ro et al.ARTICLEApplied Linguistics Review2018

    A critical condition for obtaining valid data in a psycholinguistic experiment is that the participants understand how to perform the experimental tasks. Participants usually are not familiar with the organization and requirements of the experiment and are therefore given instruction and often practice opportunities prior to the actual test trials. Pre-experimental instruction is a regular component of the experimental set-up, yet no research exi…

  • Listener response as a facet of interactional competence

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven RossARTICLELanguage Testing2018

    Interactional competence has been variously defined as turn-taking ability, paralinguistic features of communication such as eye contact, gesture, and gesticulation, and listener responses. In existing assessment systems such as the oral proficiency interview (OPI), interactional competence is only rarely explicitly factored into the holistic task-based rating system. The present article explores the potential relevance of a facet of interactiona…

  • Guidelines for Reporting Quantitative Methods and Results in Primary Research

    Open AccessJohn M Norris, Luke Plonsky et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2015Citada por: 14Referencias: 5

    Adequate reporting of quantitative research about language learning involves careful consideration of the logic, rationale, and actions underlying both study designs and the ways in which data are analyzed. These guidelines, commissioned and vetted by the board of directors of Language Learning, outline the basic expectations for reporting of quantitative primary research with a specific focus on Method and Results sections. The guidelines are ba…

  • Bayesian Approaches to Imputation, Hypothesis Testing, and Parameter Estimation

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven J Ross et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 26

    This chapter introduces three applications of Bayesian inference to common and novel issues in second language research. After a review of the critiques of conventional hypothesis testing, our focus centers on ways Bayesian inference can be used for dealing with missing data, for testing theory-driven substantive hypotheses without a default null hypothesis, and for extending the findings of meta-analyses to Bayesian estimations of parameters hyp…

  • Probability and Hypothesis Testing

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven J RossCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2012

    Hypothesis testing is a fundamental tool for the evaluation of any explanatory theory.

  • Contextual Dynamics in Foreign Language Learning Motivation

    Open AccessYoko Kozaki, Steven J Ro et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2011Citada por: 5Referencias: 20

    Learning context has increasingly been postulated to exert an influence on the dynamics of individual differences in language learning. In a longitudinal design that tested the proficiency gains of 1,682 learners over a 2-year foreign language program, a multilevel modeling approach was deployed in this study to account for variation in second language (L2) growth over time. Different aspects of learner career and social aspiration were postulate…

  • A Response to Paul Stapleton's ‘Critiquing Research Methodology’

    Steven J Ro, Steven J RossARTICLEApplied Linguistics2006

    Paul Stapleton's (2006) critique of quantitative research brings to the surface some common interpretive problems arising when experimental and quasi-experimental research designs are compared. While Stapleton may be correct in pointing out the superiority of experimental research designs because they best eliminate the influence of extraneous factors, his construction of factitious intervening variables do little to support his argument that nat…

  • The Impact of Assessment Method on Foreign Language Proficiency Growth

    Steven J Ro, Steven J RossARTICLEApplied Linguistics2005

    Alternative assessment procedures have made consistent inroads into second and foreign language assessment practices over the last decade. The original impetus for alternative assessment methods has been predicated more on the ideological appeal this approach offers than on firm empirical evidence that alternative assessment approaches actually yield value-added outcomes for foreign and second language learners. The present study addresses the is…

  • The Visual Politics of Class

    Steven J Ro, Steven J RossARTICLEFilm International2003

    As the gap between rich and poor grows ever wider, movies rarely provide visions of genuine political alternatives. Given the realities of film production within global capitalism this may come as no surprise. However, as Steven J Ross suggests in this essay, the situation was once very different. Filmmakers of the early silent era were in fact much more likely to offer their audiences images of how they could radically change their world through…

  • A Diachronic Coherence Model for Language Program Evaluation

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven J RossARTICLELanguage Learning2003Referencias: 28

    Language programs often generate complex date providing a rich source of comparative information about changes in curriculum policies and learning. Historical program archives often reveal how curricula and assessment methods evolve to include increasingly varied components of achievment. This article presents a novel quantitative methodology for assessing the construct of "program coherence" in an English as a Foreign Language context. Revolving…

  • Self-assessment in second language testing

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven RossARTICLELanguage Testing1998

    Self-assessment has been used widely in language testing research, but has produced variable results. In many quarters self-assessment is considered a viable alternative to formal second language assessment for placement and criterion-referenced interpretations, although variation in self-assessment validity coefficients suggests potential difficulty in accurate interpretation. This article first summarizes the research literature with the use of…

    Open AccessSteven J Ro, Steven RossARTICLESecond language Research1994Referencias: 2

    Syllable structure in interphonology has consistently demarcated the initial phases of phonological transfer, as well as the basis for a putative universal preference for the open syllable. The manner in which syllable structure is continually reorganized during the processes of acquisition has, however, not attracted much attention. This article addresses two phenomena in the acquisition of second language syllable structure - a preference for o…
