| Outline of Research at the Start |
In order to investigate the effects of a one-year dual-language study abroad on proficiency and affect in the L2 and L3, data from monthly Skype interviews during the study abroad and proficiency tests upon program completion will be analyzed and triangulated with pre-departure data.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the fourth year of this project (2022-2023), I have finished analyzing my data, and presented my main findings at an international conference (ICEDU) in March 2023. I have also published one paper on the preliminary findings and am preparing a more substantial manuscript for publication in an international journal.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
After the initial setbacks I experienced in the first two years of the grant, I am pleased to report I have nearly finished my research aims. I applied for and was granted a one-year extension (2023-2024) in order to finish my last two major goals: present my main findings at AAAL in March 2024 in Houston, and also publish the main findings in a major international journal.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I have finished analyzing both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the data, including the data from the initial survey, as well as the 12 hours of interview data I collected from the subset of participants from the survey. Though I have presented on the main findings of the qualitative data at ICEDU this past March, I still would like to triangulate this data with the data from the survey, and report these findings at AAAL next March.
In terms of manuscript writing, I am working on expanding the exploratory findings reported in the related publication published in 2023 to a more substantial paper suitable for publication in a major international journal.
