Harcourt Assessment is looking for research partners for a number of Spring
research projects that involve newcomers to the United States who are
receiving ESL services.  The projects range in grade from Pre-Kindergarten
through High School, and are for newcomers to the United States of all
languages.  To qualify, newcomers should be in US schools less than four or
five years, depending upon the project.

Some projects are group administered; some are individually administered.
Most can be administered by a teacher, teacher aide or other classroom
professional.

One project involves exciting voice recognition technology, and needs a
sample of ESL students whose primary language is other than Spanish.

Another project requires speech language pathologists to test Spanish
speakers ages 5 and 6 who are normally developing or Spanish-speaking
students with language disorders ages 5-21.

If you are interested in details--including compensation--for these
projects, please contact Julia Kearney at julia_kearney@harcourt.com or
800-233-5686.
