Current Studies

We are currently looking for participants for the following studies.

ENRUMA PROJECT

Why are we doing this study?

A learner's first language affects the acquisition of their second language. We want to study how non-native speakers of English of different language backgrounds produce English lexical stress.

How is this study done?

If you agree to participate, this study will take about 60 minutes.

  • You will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about demographic and language background.
  • You will then be asked to sit in front of a computer screen and complete three tasks where you will have to read a list of words and sentences that appear on the screen in front of you.
