Subject: Call for Study Participants: English Speakers in Canada and the USA


Hello!

I am part of a research group conducting a cross-linguistic research
study about COVID-19 experiences among speakers aged 19-35. Our
research project aims to understand how people from different language
and cultural backgrounds discuss the current Covid-19 situation in
their native language. Led by Professor Shoichi Iwasaki from the
Department of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of
California, Los Angeles, this study is being funded partially by the
Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, UCLA.

We are looking for native speakers of American or Canadian English in
the 19-35 age range who are willing to talk about their COVID-19
experiences for linguistic research. Participants will be paired with
an unacquainted speaker of their age for a 20-minute Zoom meeting to
talk about any aspect of their COVID-19 pandemic experiences. After
the recording, each selected participant will be gifted with an Amazon
Gift Card valued at $15 USD as a token of appreciation.

The Zoom meeting will be recorded and transcribed. The aim of this
study is purely for linguistic research, and your identity will be
protected. Transcriptions of the conversation or still images,
however, may be reproduced in research publications, and clips of your
interactions may be played at academic conferences.

You must be able to talk on Zoom, with video enabled, using a laptop
or desktop (not a phone) on the day you are available.

If you are willing to help, please fill out this form in English:

Our research assistants will contact you if you are selected to
participate in the study.

To learn more about this project, contact the research assistants or
the principal investigator!
