Just published: Narrative trajectory in identity and subjectivity research in applied linguistics
Author links open overlay panel

By: Steven Yeung in Research Methods in Applied Linguistics

This paper introduces the concept of narrative trajectory as an analytical approach to exploring the development of identity and subjectivity.

An overview of Independent samples t-test

The independent samples t-test is a statistical method used to compare the means of two separate groups to see if there is a significant difference between them. Here I present a simple breakdown:

1. Purpose: It helps you determine if the difference in averages between two groups is likely due to chance or if it reflects a real difference in the populations they represent.

2. When to Use: You use this test when you have two different groups of subjects (e.g., males vs. females, experimental group vs. control group) and you want to compare their scores on a continuous variable (e.g., test scores, reaction times).

3. Assumptions:
- The data in each group should be normally distributed.
- The variances of the two groups should be approximately equal (homogeneity of variance).
- The observations should be independent of each other.

4. How It Works:
- The t-test calculates the difference between the two group means and divides it by the standard error of the difference.
- The result is a t-value, which you then compare to a critical value from the t-distribution table based on your desired level of significance (usually 0.05) and the degrees of freedom.

5. Interpretation:
- If the calculated t-value is greater than the critical value, you reject the null hypothesis, suggesting that there is a significant difference between the two groups.
- If it is less, you fail to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that any observed difference could be due to chance.

This test is widely used in applied linguistics research to compare the effectiveness of different teaching methods, language learning strategies, or any other interventions between two distinct groups.

We are thrilled to announce that IJPIE's first issue in 2025 was published. Thanks to all dear contributed researchers who shared their research with us. This issue favors papers contributed by researchers from Iran, Turkey and Japan.
The contributions to the present issue focus on several themes that have been arousing considerable interest, including Flipped instruction, Linguistic Influentialism, Academic vocabulary learning, Autonomy in learning English, and papers in literature with themes around Cosmopolitan localism and Death and dying.
