We do however have a set of 'Recommendations for Good Practice in Applied Linguistics', developed by the Brritsh Association of Applied Linguistics (BAAL), which I recommend to students. There's a 'full' and a 'student' version. Website below.<BR>><BR>><BR>>http://www.baal.org.uk/recs_index.htm<BR>><BR>>I hope this is of interest and use.<BR>><BR>>Best wishes<BR>><BR>>Jane

IRB boards also have a template<BR>>for a consent form that you can work with. Amy<BR>><BR>> ><BR>> >
