Review
"This book does an excellent job of filling a major gap in the publications in our field. . . . should be a boon to those of us who are concerned about properly training future teachers and applied linguists to critically read and interpret quantitative empirical research." Lyle F. Bachman, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
