INTERLOCUTOR EFFECTS ON SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIATION IN L2 FRENCH

Thesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Department of French and Italian, 2021The ability to speak in a second language (L2) requires a certain level of linguistic proficiency, but the ability to live in a second language requires a certain level of sociolinguistic proficiency. L2 sociolinguistic variables present acquisitional challenges for language learners, since informal discourse features are largely absent from classroom-based input but frequent in native speakers’ informal communication. In this dissertation, I examine how L2 sociolinguistic performance can be influenced by a specific social characteristic: the interlocutor’s native language status vis-à-vis the language of communication. That is, how does learner speech change in conversation with a native speaker compared to conversation with another learner who shares the same L1? While previous studies have examined this interlocutor characteristic on measures of grammatical proficiency in classroom-based learners, few studies have measured its effect on sociolinguistic performance, especially in highly advanced learners. My data focus on two sociolinguistic features that frequently appear in informal French: ne-deletion (ND) and subject doubling (SD). I examine the interlocutor effect on these variables in two groups of learners: study-abroad students at low-advanced proficiency and highly proficient near-native speakers. Both groups were recorded in informal one-on-one conversations with a native and non-native French interlocutor. Study-abroad students demonstrated significantly higher rates of ND and SD (characteristic of more informal, nativelike speech) in conversation with a native French speaker than when speaking with another study-abroad student. Furthermore, a variationist analysis revealed interlocutor language status as the most significant social factor influencing variation for ND and SD. In near-native speakers, only marginal differences in ND and SD frequency were detected across interlocutor language statuses, suggesting a diminishing influence as proficiency increases. The results demonstrate that researchers must be aware of this interlocutor effect when designing tasks that evaluate sociolinguistic performance in learners

Investigating mediated public engagement with science on the “science” subreddit

This is a user engagement survey data set collected from the participants of r/science Ask Me Anything (AMA).The survey was distributed via Reddit message invitations in mid-September 2018 and conducted through Qualtrics. Responses were collected over the course of one month. We used segmented sampling to include a range of participants, from those who had only participated in r/science AMA once, to more frequent participants of r/science AMAs. In total, we distributed the survey to 2000 participants and received 146 responses that completed all questions regarding O’Brien et al [31]’s user engagement scale question

Is a HIP Always a HIP? The Case of Learning Communities

With the increasing adoption of learning communities, it is imperative to document their effectiveness. Using a large, longitudinal, multi-institutional dataset, we found that linked-learning communities positively impact students’ engagement and perceived gains. We also found that the estimated effect of learning communities varies widely across institutions on various measures. Some learning communities are very beneficial, while others have a negligible impact on students

Researching Nursing Student Mental Health and Seeking a Specialized Counselor

2021 winner of "Outstanding Poster Presentation in Public Service"Nursing students are faced with a number of challenges while in school, including high levels of stress, anxiety and more specifically testing anxiety. An online survey of IU Southeast nursing students related to mental health, anxiety, and the student's access to mental health resources revealed 65% of IUS nursing students have testing anxiety and that 96% of the students were interested in counseling services. This poster will present the data gathered by senior nursing students and the details of the multiple interventions, developed in partnership with Counseling Services, created to address the stress of nursing school
