Replication in Second Language Research: Narrative and Systematic Reviews and Recommendations for the Field. (2018, background): “30 may be due to seminal papers promoting a synthetic approach, such as Polio and Gass (1997) and Norris and Ortega (2000), as well as dedicated replication article types in certain prominent L2 journals (e.”
The type and linguistic foci of oral corrective feedback in the L2 classroom: A meta-analysis (2016, background): “In recent years a growing number of meta-analyses (18 to date; Plonsky & Brown, 2014) have synthesized various domains of CF research (e.g. oral, written, computer mediated) with general findings that lend substantial support to the efficacy of CF in L2 learning.”
Corpus Use in Language Learning: A Meta-Analysis. (2017, background): “A broader domain for inclusion better reflects the diversity of practices in real-world contexts and increases generalizability, and a larger dataset increases power and accuracy (Plonsky & Brown, 2014).”
THE CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF LANGUAGE APTITUDE (2015, background): “This is because predictive and interactionist studies are based on different theoretical assumptions and are conducted in different ways; mixing the two types of studies would have led to the classical apples and oranges problem of meta-analysis (Lipsey & Wilson, 2001 ; Plonsky & Brown, 2015 ).”
Task-Based Learner Production: A Substantive and Methodological Review (2016, background): “Although an inclusive approach is generally preferred (Plonsky & Brown, 2015; Plonsky & Oswald, 2015), the current study included only published studies.”
A methodological synthesis and meta-analysis of judgment tasks in second language research (2020, background): “Although it was likely that there would be significant overlap between the six databases, comprehensiveness was prioritized over redundancy (following Lee et al., 2015; Plonsky and Brown, 2015).”
Interaction and instructed second language acquisition (2018, background): “…studies, reviews (Gass 2003; Plonsky & Gass 2011; Mackey, Abbuhl & Gass 2012; Goo & Mackey 2013; Lyster & Ranta 2013; Lyster, Saito & Sato 2013; Plonsky & Brown 2015; Kim 2017), and meta-analyses (Keck, Iberri-Shea, Tracy-Ventura & Wa-Mbaleka 2006; Russell & Spada 2006; Mackey & Goo 2007; Li,…”
