| Title | Call for Participation: Research Project on Spanish L2 Writing |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-1841.html#?CFID=6304645&CFTOKEN=37934324 CEDEL2 (Corpus Escrito del Español L2) is a research project at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). It is funded by the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC), the Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (CAM) and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). We are investigating how English-speaking people learn Spanish. We are collecting a large database (corpus) of written compositions by learners of Spanish. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Learners of Spanish who have English as their mother tongue: any level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE? You are requested to fill in three online and anonymous forms at: http://www.uam.es/woslac/cedel2.htm - First form: your learning background. - Second form: a brief composition in Spanish. We are interested in REAL and SPONTANEOUS language, so don't worry about making mistakes or being assessed. Please DON'T use any dictionaries or grammar books. You can choose between several compositions topics. - Third form: questions about Spanish language. This is NOT an exam, but simply a short test to check your level of Spanish. WHAT CAN YOU GET FROM IT? We will email you the Spanish grammar test results, so you can know your level of Spanish grammar. We will send you by post a certificate (stamped by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) stating that you have participated in our project. WHO HAS ALREADY PARTICIPATED? So far, we have received data from different institutions all over the world, e.g.: - USA: University of Wisconsin at Madison, Boston University, Skidmore Collegue, Rutgers University, George Washington University. - UK: Open University, Cambridge University UK, Essex University, University of Hertfordshire, St Paul's School London. - SPAIN: Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, St Louis University at Madrid, Fundacion Ortega y Gasset at Madrid and Toledo, Escuela Oficial de Idiomas, British Council Spain, Universidad de Cantabria. REMEMBER: This is NOT an exam. You will NOT be assessed. We are simply interested in your SPONTANEOUS written Spanish language. All information is ANONYMOUS and CONFIDENTIAL.
