STATISTICS IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION

Tujuan

After completing this course the students are expected to be able toidentify and make use of the relevance of statistics for other areas in

linguistics and applied linguistics; and

specify and use basic statistical concepts in EFL teaching and research activities.

Deskripsi

This course is a blend between statistics and linguistics, designed to

develop awareness and understanding among the students of the relevance of statistics to other areas in linguistics and applied linguistics. The students will therefore be introduced in this course to such statistical concepts as summary measures, statistical inference, probability, modeling statistical population, estimating from samples, testing hypothesis about population values, testing the fit of models to data, and measuring the degree of interdependence between two variables. The students are encouraged at the very outset to present research questions and examples taken from the TEFL field. They will then be required to look at ways to search for answers to the pre-formulated question(s), to compile and analyze data, and to present findings after they are introduced to simple descriptive statistics and visual displays, and how to use a variety of statistical tests that tell us how much confidence we can place in statements made as answers to research questions, such as t-tests and ANOVA, chi-square, Pearson correlation, Spearman rank-order correlation, and linear and multiple regression. The students will also be given opportunities to use SPSS and/or some other statistical soft-wares.

individual readings and project results would become part of the class activities. As active learners, the students are encourged to share articles/readings they believe are relevant to their individual growth as a professional or teacher of English as a foreign language.

Evaluasi

The students are all expected to attend every class and come on time, though they occasionally for whatever reason might be absent. If a student happens to miss a class (not more than 20% though), he is then to make sure he keeps up with the course work. He then needs to contact one of his classmates for an update. Overall assessment will be based on the student’s performances in both mid-term and final exams as well as in accomplishing individual projects (summary of reading tasks, presentation of assigned topics, paper writing, etc.) plus attendance and participation in class discussions.
