Effect Of Instruction Language On English-Spanish Bilinguals’ Speech Perception, Alexa Andrade, Laura M. Getz Phd
Research Month
Abstract: Compared to monolinguals, bilinguals have an advantage in faster reaction times during task switching (Hernández et al., 2013). However, it is not known how switching task language affects basic perception of speech sounds. The goal of this project was to determine whether Spanish-English bilingual participants respond to auditory stimuli differently based on the language in which they receive task instructions. Participants were randomly given experiment instructions in English or Spanish, and then were presented with minimal pairs of words varying in voice onset time (VOT) along a continuum (e.g., belly/peli). Both endpoints of the stimuli were words in Spanish, …
Word Order Variation In "The Canterbury Tales", April Kurtz
Word Order Variation In "The Canterbury Tales", April Kurtz
Thinking Matters Symposium
Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” is a collection of stories told from the perspective of various people on pilgrimage to Canterbury, England, in the late 14th century. The tales vary in both content and style, in a way that reflects personality traits and background of the teller of the tale. This study explores whether syntactic structure, specifically word order, varies systematically for different characters. At the time, both English and French word order had recently shifted from verb-final to subject-verb-object. Verb-final order, though still grammatical, was much less common. Since the use of older vs. newer structures tends to signal …

Student Research Symposium
How are students of applied linguistics able to contribute to community efforts in increasing access to justice? Activist applied linguistics (AAL) (Cowal & Leung, 2021) is defined as utilizing applied linguistics in coordination with community partners to address wicked problems (Rittel & Webber, 1973). AAL provides a framework for engaging university students with communities outside of their campus and has been utilized to further work in water justice (Haeffner & Cowal, 2019) and to increase the Oregon State Bar website’s comprehensibility (Anesa, Cowal, & Pulju, 2022). In this poster, we present an AAL case study in which students of applied …

New Direction In Foreign Language Learning: Leisure Learning, Graca Webster
Scholars Day Conference
In academia, researchers have long been concerned about the decrease in foreign language study in higher education. There is a reverse trend outside the classroom. The Covid-19 pandemic changed everything, including foreign language study. Global lockdowns sparked worldwide interest in a number of hobbies, and interest in language learning increased right alongside bread-baking and self-taught guitar. In light of these changes in our world, there is a need to create a new category of foreign language learning. This work proposes the title of "Leisure Language Learning" to encompass those that pursue a foreign language as a hobby.

Indigenous Language Revitalization: Success, Sustainability, And The Future Of Human Culture, Grace Lewis
Capstone Showcase
This thesis looks at different styles of Indigenous language revitalization programs and seeks to delineate the three most successful characteristics seen across differing designs in an effort to promote the presence of these characteristics in existing programs. The literature analyzed outlines three main schools of thought: first, that language-based education is the most effective program design, second, that language-based education is only effective if it is directed and driven by the community it serves, and third, that culture-based education is the most effective design. The data rejects the idea that one design is superior to another, and instead presents three …
