Perspectives
Psychologists have written many outstanding introductions to statistics. David Howell, is one. ...Andy Field is another. Ditto natural scientists such as Michael Crawley. But natural scientists, and many psychologists, never have anything to with linguistic data. Accordingly, the books they write tend to omit a few topics that language teaching researchers need to know about. This article touches on several.
