Looking for native Yemeni, Omani, Moroccan, Lebanese,Tunisian speakers  
to help create Arabic Speech Acts for research!

It could all be done in less than an hour! (maybe even 20 minutes!)

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.

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.

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.


Thank you,
Jeremy Palmer
