| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Following further consideration, I have determined that of the seven original possible research instruments identified in the initial application only five will be utilised. The Wechsler Memory Scale is not available - an appropriate replacement for determining working memory has yet to be found; and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test will be replaced by Listening Vocabulary Level Test for determining L2 vocabulary knowledge. Apart from the Pimsleur Language Aptitude Battery which has yet to be purchased, the instruments are in various stages of preparation and translation. Among the literature examined, a recent publication directly related to this study has been sourced and will underpin the data collection and analysis undertaken.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
4 : Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
The project has been delayed by the untimely death of Professor Vandergrift who was a key adviser with related technical experience.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Reconsideration of the the size of the project and its feasibility in light of Professor Vandergrift's death is underway. It may result in fewer or different instruments being employed than originally proposed to make the data analysis more manageable.
|
| Expenditure Plan for Carryover Budget |
I plan to identify a potential conference to attend to discuss the proposed research with other experts in the field.
