This chapter aims to présent an updated reconstruction of the expansion of human scttlemcnt in
the southem part of the Chad basin, here termed Chadian Plain. To achievc such an aim,
archaeological data collectcd from well dated contexts are at premium. It is howevcr important to
note that in our study area, the number of tested sites is extremely small compared to the total
number of recordedand mapped settlemcnts, which amounts to more than one thousand

The Impact of the Abortion Law Controversy on North American Human Embryo
Research Policy
David M. Kaplan
This exploratory study examines why Canada and the United States of America have adopted
different policies regarding research on human embryos. The possible explanation may rest in an
examination of the history and the values expressed in the respective landmark abortion
decisions. Before explicating the benefits of conducting research on embryos and the concerns
that such research elicits, the moral status of the pre-embryo and its biological development are
outlined. The relevant cases and policy documents are analyzed by wedding a neo-institutional
approach to policy analysis with Dworkin's theory of judicial review. While a right to abortion exis…

Mixed-methods research in language teaching and learning
2014 •Mehdi Riazi
This state-of-the-art paper foregrounds mixed-methods research (MMR) in language teaching and
learning by discussing and critically reviewing issues related to this newly developed research

paradigm. The paper has six sections. The first provides a context for the discussion of MMR
through an introductory review of quantitative and qualitative paradigms. In the second section we
discuss the nature and scope of MMR, its underlying principles, and its techniques and
procedures. In the third section we discuss trends in MMR in language teaching and learning, and
review 40 published papers in 30 journals related to this field, covering one decade (2002–2011)…

Preface

Over the last few years, tw o phenomena of major signitic~lnce or this tx ~o k


have emerged. T he first of these is the strengthening of a research orientation
to languag e learning and teaching. T he second is a broadening of the resc;~rcli

rwarch.
Within the language teaching literature there are nulnerous works con-
mining, at worst, wish lists for teacher action and, a t best, powerful rhetorical
prescriptions for practice. In both cases, the precepts tend to be couched in
the form of received wisdom - in other words, exhortations for one line of
actipn rather than another are argued logico-deductively rather thrin on th e
basis of empirical evidence about what teachers nnd learners actually do,
inside and outside the classroom, as they teach, learn, and use language.
Ove r the last ten years, this picture has begun to change, the c hange itself
prompted, at least in part, by practitioners who have grown tired of the
swings and round abouts of pedagogic fashion. While position papers and log-
ico-deductive argume ntation have not disappeared from the scene (and I ;lm
not suggesting for a m omen t th at they should), they are counterbalanced by
empirical approaches to inquiry. I believe that these d;iys, when confronted
by pedagogical questions and problems, rese;ircliers and teachcrs are nlorc

function of this book, in addition to providing a contemporary account of

the 'what' and the 'how' of research, is to help nonresearchers develop the
critical, analytical skills which will enable them to read a nd evaluate research
reports in an informed and knowledgeable way.
