<p>We would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for a
PhD special issue of the Wiener Linguistische Gazette (WLG).<br>
</p>
<p>We invite submissions featuring methodological reflections from
work within Applied Linguistics. As emerging academics, PhD
students play an essential role in shaping the future of the field
by engaging in new and often challenging empirical pursuits. This
special issue therefore provides a platform for doctoral students
to share their reflections, shedding light on the methodological
considerations, successes, and challenges encountered in their
studies. <br>
</p>
<p>Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not
limited to:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Reflexive accounts of the researcher’s positionality and its
impact on interview dynamics and data interpretation</li>
<li>Theoretical and conceptual frameworks guiding the use of
interviews in Applied Linguistics research</li>
<li>Methodological considerations and challenges in conducting
interviews with diverse participant populations</li>
<li>Analytical techniques, statistical approaches, and data
modeling in quantitative research</li>
<li>Mixed methods: Synergistic adoption of quantitative and
qualitative methods in Applied Linguistics </li>
<li>Technology-mediated research methods: Exploring the role of
digital tools, data analysis software, and online data sources
in Applied Linguistics research</li>
<li>Innovative approaches to interpretive data analysis (e.g.,
dynamic combinations of analytical tools, problematizations
and/or novel applications of established frameworks)<br>
</li>
</ul>
