Hi,

My name is Valentina Vinokurova, and I am a Ph.D. candidatein Second Language Acquisition and Teaching at the University of Arizona. Formy dissertation, I am conducting a research study on the use ofservice-provider virtual exchange platforms (e.g., LinguaMeeting, Boomalang,Conversifi, and TalkAbroad), and I am seeking participants and I hope you can help.

This study aims to better understand who uses these platformsand in what educational context, how the pandemic affected the use of theseplatforms, what teachers see as the main benefits of such services, how theydesign tasks for conversation sessions and how they assess studentparticipation. 

The global pandemic has accelerated the trend to providelanguage education in fully online and hybrid modalities, thereby making theservices connecting language learners to native speakers more attractive anduseful. This study can increase the visibility of the services that allowteachers to do that as well as provide a platform for sharing best practicesand understanding teacher perceptions of this practice. 

Would you like to help? Eligible participants will be K-16language educators in the US and will currently use or have usedservice-provider virtual exchange platforms (such as LinguaMeeting, Boomalang,Conversifi, and TalkAbroad). Your participation will consist of filling out ananonymous online survey which should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. Ifyou are a qualified participant and are interested in helping me with my datacollection, click on this link https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1LEcssVgRoPFonc to take the Qualtrics survey.

An Institutional Review Board responsible for human subjectsresearch at The University of Arizona reviewed this research project and foundit to be acceptable, according to applicable state and federal regulations andUniversity policies designed to protect the rights and welfare of participantsin research.

Please let me know if you have any questions at vvinokurova at arizona.edu. Thank youfor your time!

Best,

Valentina Vinokurova
