Introduction
This course introduces the principles and practices of Open Science in the context of Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). These principles and practices promote transparent, credible, reproducible, and accessible science. Open Science aims to improve the reliability, validity, and generalisability of research findings. The movement started in social psychology, but is (slowly) gaining traction in the language sciences. Through a combination of presentations, discussions, hands-on activities, and real-life projects, we will learn about the key concepts and tools of Open Science, including open materials, open data, literate programming, open access, open peer review, Open Educational Resources (OERs), etc. Together, we will explore the implications of Open Science across all stages of the research process from research design and funding to data analysis and publication (including to non-academic audiences) in the field of applied linguistics and SLA.
