Subject: Call for Participants: English speakers with or without knowledge of French

 
We are looking for volunteers to take part in a study of Language Processing.
The theme of this project is to explore how monolingual and bilingual people
differ on processing English sentences with various grammatical structures. 

As a participant in this online study, you would be asked to: fill out a
language background questionnaire, a French cloze task (if you are an
English-French bilingual), complete a reading task in a maze game, and
complete a short grammaticality judgment task.
Your participation would involve one session only, which is approximately 45
minutes.

If you think you belong to one of the following groups, You are welcome to
participate by clicking this link:

A0569)

1) English-French bilinguals (Age: 18~55). 
You are either an early English-French bilingual who speak English as the
first language and start to speak French before the age of 14, or
A simultaneous English-French bilingual who start to acquire both English and
French from birth (i.e., so, basically, you were born in a English-French
bilingual family).

2) English monolinguals (Age: 18~55). You should be born in an
English-speaking family (which means your parents or caregiver(s) should be
native English speakers) and live in an English-speaking country, ideally
Canada or the US. Meanwhile, you MUST have none or very little knowledge of
French grammar and vocabulary.

The ethical components of this study has been approved by the University of
Ottawa Behavioural Research Ethics Board.
