Objectives The primary aim of this seminar was to promote the values and practices of research synthesis (a systematic form of secondary research – see Chong and Plonsky (2021a) for a typology of different forms of research synthesis) in applied linguistics and language education in advancing research and researchpractice conversations. Moreover, as a seminar that had a methodological rather than substantive focus, another objective was to discuss methodological traditions and issues of conducting different types of research synthesis, including meta-analysis, qualitative research synthesis. Being cognizant of the fact that research synthesis methodologies in applied linguistics are still in their infancy and draw on eclectic methodological traditions in other disciplines (e.g., healthcare and medicine), an added value of this seminar was to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogues by inviting research synthesists in other disciplines to share their perspectives and experiences. This seminar attracted a total of 97 participants.

应用语言学研究综合：促进研究-教育学对话

目标 本次研讨会的主要目的是促进应用语言学和语言教育中研究综合的价值和实践（二次研究的系统形式 - 参见 Chong 和 Plonsky (2021a) 的不同研究综合形式的类型学），以推进应用语言学和语言教育研究和研究实践对话。此外，作为一个注重方法而非实质性的研讨会，另一个目标是讨论方法学传统和进行不同类型研究综合的问题，包括元分析、定性研究综合。认识到应用语言学中的研究综合方法仍处于起步阶段，并借鉴其他学科（例如医疗保健和医学）的折衷方法传统这一事实，本次研讨会的一个附加价值是通过邀请其他学科的研究综合人员分享他们的观点和经验来促进跨学科对话。本次研讨会共吸引了97人参加。
