Description

Recently, institutional ethics approval has become a standard requirement for language education research. However, the review process is sometimes opaque, leaving researchers unclear about the whys and hows of research ethics review. With four years of experience on a university research ethics review panel, the presenter will help participants develop a firm understanding of ethics reviews. Participants will discuss their experiences with the review process, review sample ethics guidelines, and assess a sample research proposal.
