Dear all,

As part of the ERASMUS+ project “Counteracting accent dIscrimination
pRactiCes in Education” (https://www.circe-project.eu/), we will
investigate attitudes to varieties of English and varieties of several
other European languages through Verbal Guise Tests. At the end of the
project, all materials for the Verbal Guise Tests will be made
available to the research community and we invite other researchers to
use them.

We are currently looking for speakers of several varieties of English
who are willing to record themselves reading a very short (one
paragraph) reading passage. The speakers should be between 18 and 25
years of age (approximately) and should speak an 'educated and/or
standard' form of this variety of English without obvious regional
markers (we are aware that these concepts as well as the variety
labels are controversial, but had to settle on a working definition).

We are looking for speakers of:
- Standard Southern British English
- Standard American English
- African American Vernacular English
- Multicultural London English
- Indian English
- Nigerian English

Speakers will be compensated with 20 Euros. We would be very grateful
if you could forward this information to your students or anyone else
who you think might be willing to helps us and donate a recording of
their voice for this research. Anyone interested should please contact
us at philipp.meer at uni-muenster.de or robert.fuchs at uni-hamburg.de.
