Text Comprehension In Monolingual And Bilingual Adult Readers, Sharan K. Grewal, Deanna Friesen, Olivia Ward

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

The present study examined whether University students who learned English as a second language differed from English monolingual students on their ability to detect inconsistent content in short informational texts about animals. Adults completed a self-paced reading task, performed text recalls, and completed a True/False test. Half of the texts contained information in the 5th sentence that contradicted the 2nd sentence’s information (inconsistent condition).

Results revealed a significant interaction between language group and consistency, wherein monolingual adults spent more …

Governance In Post-Secondary Institutions, Kyla Johnson

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

The concept of collegial governance is well understood in the post-secondary sector. The basic premise of this is that colleagues make decisions collectively for the benefit of the unit.
