[LAP] study on the influence of individual traits on the effectiveness of online vs face-to-face second language learning

[Michał B. Paradowski]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are running an important global study of how learners' individual traits influence the effectiveness of online and face-to-face second/foreign language classes. If you know students who are currently enrolled in or have recently completed a language course (either remotely or face-to-face), or instructors teaching such courses who could pass on the information further, could you please forward the link: https://L2grit.ils.uw.edu.pl 🙏🏻 We currently have 74% of the required number of participants, but it would be wonderful if more—as well as more diverse—settings and students were represented.

The project is preregistered, has received IRB approval (ethics clearance), and only takes around 17 minutes to complete. Participation is fully anonymous. As in the case of our previous projects, the subsequent results will be made public in open access. (E.g., the first paper from this project can already be read open-access at https://doi.org/10.1080/09588221.2023.2192762; initial articles detailing findings from our earlier global study on emergency remote teaching can be found at https://schoolclosure.ils.uw.edu.pl/publications/, while https://peerlang.ils.uw.edu.pl/publications/ discusses the impact of peer interactions on study-abroad SLA investigated using social network analysis.)

Have a nice weekend ahead!

Best wishes and regards,

-Mike
