Harnessing AI for Research in Applied Linguistics: From Qualitative Coding to Quantitative Analysis
A workshop for the 2025-26 series on AI and Research in Language Studies led by Lara Bryfonski, Georgetown University
March 19th, 3:00pm–5:00pm
In this workshop will introduce participants to practical strategies for integrating AI into research workflows. Drawing on examples from recent studies in applied linguistics, it will explore how AI can support qualitative coding (e.g., theme identification and top-down coding practices), automate the extraction and classification of variables for meta-analysis, and assist with statistical tasks such as regression modeling and data visualization.
