(maybe even 20 minutes!)<br><br>My name is Jeremy Palmer. I am a PhD student in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) at the University of Arizona.I am writing to ask for assistance with one of my dissertation research instruments. <br><br>I will collect data this summer at several institutions throughout the Arabic-speaking world at Arabic study abroad locations. One of my instruments is a Speech Acts test consisting for 4 short audio clips. The speech acts range from bargaining, complaining, holiday greetings, asking for directions, asking for information. Each clip is less than 1 minute long. Students will hear the clips 3 times each and will then answer some basic questions about what they heard. I can send you example clips and questions from Egyptian and Jordanian to give you an idea. <br><br>Please let me know if you can help! All you would do is sit down and record (audio only) a few unscripted situations with another native speaker of your Arabic variety. <br><br><br>Thank you,<br>Jeremy Palmer<br><a href="mailto:jeremy.palmer@gmail.com">jeremy.palmer@gmail.com</a><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">End of Arabic-L: 23 Apr 2008</div></div></body></html>
