要阐明强有力的学习理论，需要多种方法--包括观察法和实验法。我们领域的关键问题依赖于这些不同的方法，仍然是悬而未决的。儿童是如何感知和产生语言的？他们在语言输入中遇到了什么？学习者给习得任务带来了什么？英语口语的发展取得了长足的进步(尤其是北美学习者)。然而，关于其他人口中的儿童是如何发展的，特别是农村地区的人口，仍有很多需要发现。为了考察这些人群中的语言学习，我们需要一种多方法的方法。然而，调整和整合方法，特别是实验方法，以适应新的环境，可能会带来巨大的挑战。在本文中，我们讨论了致力于在农村样本中使用多方法方法的研究人员所面临的机遇和挑战，以及语言习得领域可以做些什么来促进这项工作。
Multiple approaches – including observational and experimental – are necessary to articulate powerful theories of learning. Our field’s key questions, which rely on these varied methods, are still open. How do children perceive and produce language? What do they encounter in their linguistic input? What does the learner bring to the task of acquisition? Considerable progress has been made for the development of spoken English (especially by North American learners). Yet there is still a great deal to discover about how children in other populations proceed, especially populations in rural settings. To examine language learning in these populations, we need a multi-method approach. However, adapting and integrating methods, particularly experimental ones, to new settings can present immense challenges. In this paper, we discuss the opportunities and challenges facing researchers who aim to use a multimethodological approach in rural samples, and what the field of language acquisition can do to promote such work.
