Summary

This book provides practical guidance on research methods and designs that can be applied to Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) research. It discusses the contribution of CDST to the field of applied linguistics, examines what this perspective entails for research and introduces practical methods and templates, both qualitative and quantitative, for how applied linguistics researchers can design and conduct research using the CDST framework. Introduced in the book are methods ranging from those in widespread use in social complexity, to more familiar methods in use throughout applied linguistics. All are inherently suited to studying both dynamic change in context and interconnectedness. This accessible introduction to CDST research will equip readers with the knowledge to ensure compatibility between empirical research designs and the theoretical tenets of complexity. It will be of value to researchers working in the areas of applied linguistics, language pedagogy and educational linguistics and to scholars and professionals with an interest in second/foreign language acquisition and complexity theory.

Learn Conversational Hindi Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Hindi. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Hindi from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. 
Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation you will see much better results. 
Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.
