Subject:L2 Arabic Dialect Research Project

Dear Arabic teachers and students,

I'm writing to invite any of you who are non-native or heritage  
speakers of Arabic to participate in my research project, which is on  
L2 Arabic dialect comprehension.  The purpose of this study is to  
contribute to the discussion of diglossia and Arabic teaching by  
contributing empirical evidence about factors that affect L2 Arabic  
dialect comprehension.  Please feel free to encourage any of your  
students as well as any other non-native or heritage speakers of  
Arabic you know to participate in this project.  I am looking for all  
levels of learners, from beginner to near native, and with all  
different exposures to colloquial Arabic, from none to full time  
dialectologists.  If you receive this notice more than once, I  
apologize, I am simply trying to reach a large sample size.  The  
project has IRB approval from Michigan State University, and can be  
accessed at the following link.  The activity should take about 30-45  
minutes to complete, depending on how fast you type.

questions.
