Essential Statistics for Applied Linguistics

Assuming no prior knowledge this text provides a concise practical and accessible introduction to using analysing and interpreting statistics and methodologies in empirical work using R or JASP. It takes an activity-based approach in which students are first stimulated to consider a problem or question and find their own solution before the conventional way of solving that problem or question is introduced. ''How To'' guides on R and JASP which take students step-by-step through statistical analyses and practical assignments are available on the book''s companion website. This book will be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Applied Linguistics.
