Arabic students: Make $25,
Participate in Research
The University of Maryland Center
for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) is interested in studying how learners of
Arabic perceive speech sounds in Arabic. We are looking for college students
who are currently taking or have recently completed Arabic courses at the
beginning or intermediate level to participate in a study. Participants should
be enrolled or have recently completed at least one year of Arabic, be at least
18 years of age, not be native or heritage speakers of Arabic, and not have a
known history of speech language pathology or hearing loss.
They will participate in 1 session
lasting on average 1.5 hours. The experiment will involve filling out a
language history questionnaire and transcription of a series of Arabic words
and non-words that will be played for participants. Participants will be paid
$25 upon completion of the task, with two chances to win a $50 iTunes gift
card. If interested, please send an email to ArabicDictation@casl.umd.edu.

ATTENTION AND SWITCHING BETWEEN TASKS
Participants are needed for a study on
task-switching!
We are recruiting participants for a research study examining the role of attention when switching between different simple tasks.
Participants will complete a series of computerized tasks during a 1-hour session.
You will be compensated $20 for your participation.
Open to US citizens between 18 and 30 years old.

Are you a native speaker of Arabic? Or Are you a native
English speaker who has studied Arabic?
Researchers at the University of
Maryland are looking for volunteers to participate in a language study. The
study compares how first and second language learners of Arabic understand
Arabic words.
The study takes no more than 1.5 hours in total. Participants
will listen to spoken Arabic words, then see strings of Arabic letters on a
laptop screen, and decide whether each string is a real word in Arabic.
Participants will also complete a fill-in-the-blank quiz, and answer a
questionnaire about their language-learning experiences. Research participants
must be native speakers of Arabic or English, be at least 18 years of age, and
have good reading and listening skills in Arabic.
