Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Summary

Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism: A Research Synthesis and Methodological Guide by Aline Godfroid

Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism provides foundational knowledge and hands-on advice for designing, conducting, and analysing eye-tracking research in applied linguistics. Godfroid's research synthesis and methodological guide introduces the reader to fundamental facts about eye movements, eye-tracking paradigms for language scientists, data analysis, and the practicalities of building a lab. This indispensable book will appeal to undergraduate students learning principles of experimental design, graduate students developing their theoretical and statistical repertoires, experienced scholars looking to expand their own research, and eye-tracking professionals.

Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Reviews

Navigating the choices and challenges inherent to conducting eye-tracking research is an incredibly complex and dauting task. Godfroid charts the territory for language researchers meticulously, balancing conceptual and practical guidance and providing an empirically-informed approach unlike anything the field has seen.

Luke Plonsky, Northern Arizona University, USA.

This nine-chapter volume provides an authoritative look into, and an integrated treatment of, the issues to be considered when conducting eye-tracking research to study language comprehension in speakers of more than one language. It is a must read for everyone new to the use of eye-tracking methodology in SLA and bilingualism, as well as an excellent go-to reference for those already familiar with the method.

Paola Giuli Dussias, The Pennsylvania State University, USA

Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism by Aline Godfroid may be the most comprehensive work related to eye-tracking research for applied linguistics to date... My overall assessment of the book is overwhelmingly positive. It is thorough to the extent that a graduate student could conceivably rely on this book as their sole reference to design a thesis-worthy experiment.
