Beyond replication: An exact replication study of Łodzikowski (2021)

Abstract Replication studies have become an emerging line of research in recent decades, including computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Exact replication, which closely follows a study’s protocol, is rare as it hard to recreate results without establishing highly controlled environment. However, using data available online, we were able conduct exact replication Łodzikowski’s (2021) study, reported on the use allophonic transcription tool by 55 Polish learners English. Allophonic features are used native speakers produce acoustic variants same phoneme. The original study offered tool, examined how they and considered its association with phonological awareness. This extended addressing limitations regression analyses. Our findings allowed us offer several suggestions (1) can be better designed help learners, (2) CALL researchers acquire more for useful (3) why needed CALL.
