Abstract
Despite the prevalent use of structural equation modeling (SEM) in second language testing and learning and the growing awareness of the value of replication studies as a means for knowledge accumulation and critical appraisal of previous studies, the existing structural equation models have been infrequently reproduced, with the exception of Fulcher (1996). This article summarizes the significance of the reproduction of structural equation models in second language testing and learning, illustrates the procedures for such reproduction, and discusses the value and difficulties of such reproduction by answering frequently asked questions.
